Remarks & Notes 
Two "crocodiles" on the Seetal line between Ballwil and Hochdorf, leading the shorter De 6/6 # 15301 of the Oensingen-Balsthal-Bahn and new based in Hochdorf, operated by association historic Seethalbahn (HSTB), second is the Be 6/8 III # 13302 of SBB Historic, based in Rapperswil and maintained and operated by "Betriebsgruppe 13302". The red "Seetalkrokodil" De 6/6 15301 was built in 1926 by SLM and BBC (together with sisters # 15302 and 15303) for the SBB line Wildegg-Lenzburg-Beinwil-Lucerne, the Seetal line (Lake Valley Line). In 1983 it was sold to the Oensingen-Balsthal-Bahn for freight service, but had a severe damage in the electric part in 1990. Made operational again by Association Seetal Crocodile 15301 till 2008 and based in Bahnpark Brugg (AG) till 2016, now new in Hochdorf. Note the wheel diameter of 1040 mm only, the green Be 6/8 III has 1350 mm, maximum velocity 50 versus 75 km/h.
