Locomotive 1100.102 in Mürzzuschlag, Austria

An electric locomotive built in 1925/26. The nickname of this class of locomotives is ‘Austrian Crocodile’. These locomotives used to drive heavy trains along the mountain routes of Austria.

The locomotive shown above is still used for driving vintage trains through the Austrian landscape. I came across this ‘crocodile’ at a railway festival performed by the Südbahn Museum (Museum about the Semmering Railway) in Mürzzuschlag.
