Remarks & Notes 
Diesellocomotive Gm 4/4 # 71 "Elch" (Elk) of the Dampfbahn Furka-Bergstrecke (DFB) in Realp DFB. The locomotive was built by Arnold Jung/Germany in 1966 for the work railway Lohjan Kalkkitehdas Oy in Virkkala/Finland. From 1971 to 1976 running on another railway in Finland. In 1980, the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn (FO) bought the 330 kW locomotive and used it as shunter in Oberwald. In 2014, the successor railway Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn sold the locomotive to the DFB. The "Elch" has no cogwheel drive and is used for shunting duties in Realp, but due to give away now, because "Moyse" diesels Gm 3/3 of the Rhaetian Railway could be taken over. Update october 2021: This locomotive was given to France and is now with the Musee des Tramways vapeur et chemin de fer secondaire, line LE TRAIN A VAPEUR DU BEAUVAISIS.
