The electric multiple units of the electric trams in the canton of Zug (ESZ) delivered from 1913 onwards were referred to as CFe 4/4 . One of the CFe 4/4 of the ESZ was nicknamed "Elephant".
history
The company Electric trams in the Canton train (SPC) opened on 9 September 1913, the interurban tram routes tensile Oberägeri , train Baar -Thalacker and Nidfurren-Menzingen. Railcars with the type designation CFe 4/4 drove on all routes . In the first few years of operation, these drove as solo railcars and replaced the automobile courses, because the nine-seater Orion buses previously used were not reliable and, with their solid rubber wheels, were not comfortable on the unpaved road.
The tram railcars ran solo or, from 1920, with sidecars of the type ESZ passenger cars C 36 - C 38 . Closed and open freight wagons were used for freight transport.
Three CFe4 / 4s were procured as passenger railcars (No., 1, 2 and 4). The CFe 4/4 with the number 3 was procured as a freight railcar with the designation Fe 4/4 and the ESZ number 21.
The name "elephant" comes from the gray paint that the third CFe 4/4 initially had. This was converted into a passenger railcar in 1916 due to the shortage of vehicles. The tram operation on these routes was stopped in 1953 and again replaced by buses. The four CFe 4/4 of the ESZ were sold in 1955 to Wynental and Suhrentalbahn (WSB), Langenthal-Jura-Bahn (LJB) and Oberaargau-Jura-Bahnen (OJB), respectively . The CFe 4/4 # 3 is exhibited today as a restored passenger railcar in the Zuger depot technology history .

Whereabouts
After the end of the tram service in the canton of Zug, all vehicles were sold. Today the trailer C-37 is still preserved at the Jagsttalbahn, an ESZ CFe 4/4 was brought back from Langenthal to Neuheim ZG and restored in the original colors. This ESZ CFe 4/4 is now in the Zuger depot technology history .
