history

1080 015-9 with a freight train in Stainach Irdning on the Ennstalbahn (1989)
1180 004-2 in Landeck station (1992)

The BBÖ needed electric freight locomotives for the Arlbergbahn ramp routes , which were supposed to replace the steam locomotives class 80 and 180 . The new electric locomotives , just like the rows of steam locomotives to be replaced, should be five-fold coupled. The BBÖ decided to only drive three axles; the two axles on the outside were connected to the driven axles via connecting rods. Tatzlager drive was chosen as the drive type , as this was sufficient for the low speeds of freight trains. At the time the new locomotives were purchased, the freight trains were being braked by lined up brake wagons by the brakemen on board and by the locomotive itself, so the maximum speed of the locomotives could not be set too high. The BBÖ ordered 20 locomotives, which were manufactured by Siemens-Schuckert Vienna (electrical part) and Krauss in Linz (mechanical part) and delivered in 1924 and 1925. On May 10, 1924 the first machine - 1080.01 - was handed over to the BBÖ. The 1080 series locomotives were stationed in Bludenz , from where they hauled freight trains to Innsbruck .

In the years 1926 and 1927, a replica series of nine locomotives was procured, which were designated as BBÖ 1080.1 and differed externally from the locomotives that were first built because the short front end was omitted. The replica machines were also 20% stronger than the ones that were originally delivered. In 1929 a tenth machine was delivered. The new locomotives were designated as 1080.101-110. The 1080 series was referred to as the “small”, the 1080.1 as the “large” 1080 series. The vehicles proved themselves within the framework set for them, but at that time the full potential of electric traction had not yet been recognized, so that they were soon pushed out of the line service by stronger and faster locomotives and used in shunting , which they are good for after a conversion were suitable.

After the connection of Austria to the German Reich , the locomotives, which are now in the inventory of were Deutsche Reichsbahn were redrawn: The series 1080 became the E 88, 1080.1 to E 88.1. The locomotives E 88.05, 10, 11, 16, 18 and 20 were badly damaged in the course of the war, while the E 88.1 series machines survived the Second World War undamaged. In 1953, the ÖBB gave the E 88 series its designation of origin (1080) and the E 88.1 series machines were classified as ÖBB 1180 . In the post-war period, the Innsbruck supply pipeline started a project to rebuild destroyed 1080s. After a closer inspection of the locomotives, or what was left of the machines, the supply line decided to rebuild the locomotives 1080.05 and 11. Since the locomotives could no longer be used in mainline train service due to the low maximum speed and the outdated technology, it was decided to rebuild the two machines as modernized locomotives intended for heavy shunting. In contrast to the other locomotives of the 1080 series, the two reconstruction locomotives received a compressed air brake , a new control system, an improved direction reverser and earth fault relay . The locomotive 1080.005 was put into operation on November 15, 1951, 11 on March 8, 1954. Since the two machines proved their worth, all machines of the 1180 series and the other 1080 series were rebuilt, with other improvements than with the reconstruction locomotives. On June 1, 1993, the last representatives of the 1180 series - 1180.01, 03, 04 and 09 - were retired.

Whereabouts

The following locomotives have been preserved to this day:

1080.01 1924 green Austrovapor Strasshof
1180.04 1927 green ÖGEG Ampflwang
1080.007-6 * 1924 green ÖBB ErlebnisBahn Strasshof (until 2010: Selzthal)

The locomotive marked with * was used as a spare part dispenser.
