| Remarks & Notes |
| The Ge 4/4 # 81 was built in 1916 by SLM and BBC as Ge 6/6 # 81 for the then independent Bernina Railway as most powerful one meter gauge locomotive of Europe. In 1929 is was rebuilt as Ge 4/4 (4 driven axles). It was running for the RhB as # 181 later and came to the Blonay Chamby Railroad Museum in 1970. Since a few days, it is operational again in a superb "Havanna brown" paint scheme, and the day before it was inaugurated officially, so it is decorated with flowers. The powerful # 81 is pulling a passenger train from Blonay to Chamby and Chaulin museum over the 45 meter high viaduct over the Baye de Clarens. |
