Note: The Rhaetian Railway Ge 4/4 II is a class of metre gauge Bo-Bo electric locomotives operated by the Rhaetian Railway (RhB), which is the main railway network in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland.
The class is so named because it was the second class of locomotives of the Swiss locomotives and railcar classification type Ge 4/4 to be acquired by the Rhaetian Railway. According to that classification system, Ge 4/4 denotes a narrow gauge electric adhesion locomotive with a total of four axles, all of which are drive axles.

Carlo Janka (born October 15, 1986) is a champion alpine ski racer from Switzerland. Born in Obersaxen in the canton of Graubünden, he had the winter sports facilities right in front of his home. Janka has won gold medals at both the Winter Olympics and the World Championships, as well as one World Cup overall title and one discipline title.

Very nice picture. Is the station roof new at Filisur ?

~SwissTrain Jul 18, 2012

Thanks, puh I don't know when they built it but it's only some years old

*JSH50 Jul 18, 2012

I have just looked at the Filisur webcam, and can see the new roof. I was there 10 years ago and there was no roof then.

~SwissTrain Jul 18, 2012

so they built it since then ^^, you have to take a look at this webcam [link] !

There's another speciality about those trainsets: They are dual system motorcars. The RhB network is electrificated with AC 11'500 V, but the Bernina branch uses DC 1000 V. This motorcars are the first in the fleet which can run using both systems.
