This so called Rowan train (named after its English engineer and inventor William Robert Rowan), with a coach supported on one side directly by the loco, to put more weight on it, was built 1904. It was operated by the Jungfraubahn (JB), an 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3/8 in) gauge rack railway electrified at 3-phase 1,125 volts 50 Hertz. It runs 9 kilometres from Kleine Scheidegg to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch. It stays since 2008 at the Rail Museum Kerzers, located at Kallnach. |
