A the same Railfest in Degersheim (Switzerland)where I photographed the big steamers there was also a Swiss crocodile loco auf the SBB (Swiss Federal railways).
Type designation is Ce 6/8 III --> meaning: C = top speed 40 mph/(65 km/h), e = electric, 6/8 = six of eight axles powered, III = the 3rd series built. (Type I was a prototype, type II had a different rod mechanism).
One of the most famous locos of Switzerland, I guess. Enjoy!
