In the series as E of the Lower Austrian State Railways procured and in the meantime as a series in 1099 called locomotives is specially designed for the narrow-gauge Mariazell Railway developed electric locomotives . Due to the unique power system used on the Mariazellerbahn and the fact that it is a narrow-gauge locomotive, the 1099 series locomotives can still only be used on this route today. With a service life of over a hundred and two years, the 1099 series electric locomotives were the oldest narrow-gauge electric locomotives in scheduled service worldwide in 2013. The planned mission ended on October 27, 2013.
history
1910–1923 Lower Austrian regional railways
The electrical part of these locomotives, commissioned by the Lower Austrian State Railways, was manufactured by the Austrian Siemens-Schuckert -Werke in Vienna. The mechanical part of 15 locomotives comes from Krauss & Comp. in Linz, at a locomotive, the E.14, from the Grazer Waggonfabrik .
The first electric locomotive, known as the E series, was delivered to the company workshop in St. Pölten Localbahn , today St. Pölten Alpine Station , before April 1910 . From April 11, 1910, the first test drives were undertaken in the vicinity of St. Pölten. The first scheduled train ran with an electric locomotive on March 27, 1911. It was taken over by the E.3 in Kirchberg an der Pielach and transported to Laubenbachmühle. Subsequently, further trips took place in mixed operation with steam locomotives, which were used for operational testing and staff training. As of May 1, 1911, the beginning of the summer timetable, the scheduled electrical operation was started with travel times adapted for the electric locomotives. In 1914, after the delivery of the E16, the procurement of this locomotive series ended.
1923–1938 Austrian Federal Railways (BBÖ)
The Austrian Federal Railways continued to introduce the locomotives as series E in their vehicle fleet, of course nothing changed in their use.
1938–1946 German State Railroad
After the Austrian Federal Railways merged into the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1938 after Austria was annexed to Germany , the locomotives were henceforth designated as E 99.
1946-2010 Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB)
After the end of the Second World War and the regaining of Austrian national sovereignty, the locomotives were taken over by the re-established Austrian Federal Railways as class 1099 in their new numbering scheme. After the locomotives had been in use for almost fifty years, the machines were fundamentally modernized between 1959 and 1962. The locomotive body was completely renewed, the locomotives were rewired, equipped with a pneumatic contactor control and equipped with a new additional compressed air brake. The frame, traction motors, transformers, drive and bogies remained unchanged. After the renovation, they were only equipped with a pantograph. The first and so far only loss of a class 1099 locomotive occurred on February 11, 1981, when a downhill train hauled by locomotive 1099.15 fell from the Buchberggraben viaduct due to excessive speed, killing the engine driver. The machine then had to be dismantled on the spot.
In the years from 2000 onwards, five locomotives were parked in the workshop in St. Pölten Alpenbahnhof and some of them were used as spare parts donors, so that as a result only ten machines were counted in the operational inventory. Thirteen of the locomotives were officially named after communities on the Mariazellerbahn and were given their coat of arms. Some also have nicknames given by the staff, some of which are also written on the locomotive bodies. From the mid-1990s, three locomotives were also fitted with a compressed air brake system for the train, so that the 4090 series multiple units with compressed air brakes can be towed away if necessary . The same three locomotives (including 1099.007 and 010) now have the brown paint of the Ötscherbär tourist train .
2010 – today NÖVOG
With the start of the 2010/2011 winter timetable on December 12, 2010, the infrastructure, operational management and all operating resources of the Mariazellerbahn were transferred to the Lower Austrian Transport Organization , which initially continued to operate the locomotives as the 1099 series. The appearance of the locomotives changed only marginally as a result: the ÖBB logos were removed and a NÖVOG lettering was attached to each locomotive side, the fronts remain bare until further notice. After a partial repair in May 2011, the 1099.007 became the third Ötscherbär locomotive, but it was still provided with the Mariazell coat of arms.
As a result of the successive delivery of the new three-part railcars from the Swiss locomotive manufacturer Stadler Rail , specially designed for use under the special conditions of the Mariazellerbahn , the locomotives of the 1099 series were able to take the locomotives of the 1099 series out of scheduled service on the Mariazellerbahn. On October 27, 2013, the 1099.14, which was painted in the classic Jaffa look and provided with a memorial plaque, was given the honor of transporting the last planned train R 6816 from Mariazell to St. Pölten Hbf.
In the future, at least the Ötscherbär tourist train will remain in operation on weekends and will continue to be hauled by the locomotives, which are now referred to as series E again.
The 1099.02 will find its place as an exhibit in the Technical Museum in Vienna. At 102 years of age, it is said to be the longest in service worldwide and also the oldest electric locomotive in the museum.
In May 2015, the 1099.01, 08, 11 and 16 were transferred to Ober-Grafendorf. The former was sold to Club Mh.6, the other three lent to him.
1099.03, 05, 09 and 12 were sold to the private railway workshop CFI (Calea Ferata Ingusta) in Romania, where they are to be externally reconditioned. Preservation as static showpieces is planned. The vehicle body of the 1099.04, cannibalized as a spare parts donor, was acquired by the same company and converted into a bicycle transport car for the Moldovița forest railway .

The 1099.006 was transferred to Kirchberg an der Pielach and stands together with the Mariazellerbahn wagon 3110 “Kirchberg an der Pielach” as an exhibit at the Kirchberg train station.

technology
The construction follows principles that are still valid today: The locomotives have a continuous locomotive body with two three-axle bogies in an outer frame construction . Each bogie has a fixed travel motor ; the drive takes place via countershafts and coupling rods . The locomotive body is connected to the bogies by a pivot pin. A driver's cab is located at both ends of the locomotive body ; The two transformers and auxiliary units are arranged in the space in between . The traction motors are 10 pole single phase AC - series motors with a continuous output of about 160 kW each, powered by two self-cooled transformers, each 190 kVA . As is generally the case with Austrian narrow-gauge railways, the locomotives have a Hardy system suction air brake .
