Summary

Description
English: Rotkreuz train station
SBB Re 4/4 III 11350, ex Re 4/4 41 of the Südostbahn
This Re 4/4 III was a request of the Südostbahn to the Swiss Federal Railways to get one Re 4/4 II of the 1st series for hauling heavy pilgrim trains over the steep 50 ‰ slopes to Einsiedeln. Therefore this locomotive got – without changing any other components – another gear, which on one hand lowered the top speed from 140 km/h (87 mph) to 125 km/h (78 mph), but on the other hand increased the tractive force at the requested speeds.
Deutsch: Bahnhof Rotkreuz
SBB Re 4/4 III 11350, ex Re 4/4 41 der Schweizerischen Südostbahn
Die Re 4/4 41 war das Resultat einer Anfrage der SOB an die SBB, eine Lokomotive mit geänderter Übersetzung zu übernehmen, die in der Lage war, schwere Pilgerzüge über die 50 ‰ Steigungen nach Einsiedeln zu ziehen. Durch die geänderte Übersetzung erhöhte sich die Zugkraft im gewünschten Geschwindigkeitsbereich, die Höchstgeschindigkeit wurde dadurch aber von 140 km/h auf 125 km/h reduziert.
