SLM He 2/2 are electric locomotives with gear drive that were built by the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM) and equipped with three-phase or direct current equipment from various manufacturers such as Alioth , BBC , CIE, MFO and Rieter . He 2/2 were produced from 1898 to 1957 in the gauges 800, 1000 and 1435 mm. They have no adhesion drive, so they can only move on a rack-and-pinion track.

Luchon – Superbagnères mountain railway

Luchon – Superbagnères mountain railway

The Luchon – Superbagnères mountain railway was operated with three-phase current of 3 kV and 50 Hz with a two-pole contact line. The four locomotives with electrical equipment from BBC each had two 160 HP slip ring motors . The speed was controlled via resistors connected to the rotor circuit. A regenerative brake was available for the descent . Two independently working combined band and block brakes acted on the drive gears, another band brake acted on the brake disks on the motor shafts. The latter was triggered automatically at 20% overspeed. The locomotives were together with two Vorstellwagen used and reached during the ascent speed of 7.8 km / h.

Another locomotive was taken over by Chemin de Fer de la Rhune in 1938 as number 5 .

Brunnen-Morschach Railway

The locomotives of the Brunnen-Morschach-Bahn (BrMB) were based on the model of the Jungfrau Railway. However, they only had one drive gear in the middle of the vehicle and one brake gear on the axis on the valley side. The He 2/2 1 - 3 were a bit smaller than the machines of the Jungfrau Railway, but later received the same improvements as these. The locomotives had two three-phase asynchronous motors with a continuous output of 85 hp each, which acted on a jackshaft. The power transmission to the drive gear, which had a diameter of 700 mm, took place via a double gear transmission. A driving speed of 9 km / h was achieved. The locomotives were 3910 mm long and the service weight was 10.5 t. They remained in use until the railway was closed on February 28, 1969 and were then scrapped.

Bex-Villars-Bretaye Railway

Bex – Villars – Bretaye Railway He 2/2 2 on the Blonay – Chamby museum railway in western Switzerland

The locomotives of the Bex-Villars-Bretaye-Bahn (BVB) with the numbers 1 - 4 were 5.11 meters long and weighed 14.8 tons. They had a top speed of 10 km / h with an output of 162 kW. The HGe 2/2 2 and 3 built for the Martigny-Châtelard-Bahn (MC) were purchased in 1930, and the adhesion drive was expanded at the same time. No. 2 was listed as VB He 2/2 1 and later as BVB He 2/2 4II, No. 3 became VB He 2/2 2.

Trieste-Opicina rack railway

On the approx. 800 m long steep stretch of the meter-gauge tram line from Trieste to the suburb of Opicina (located on the Karst plateau), the tram cars were pushed by three Strub cogwheel locomotives . They were built by SLM under the serial numbers 1372 ff. 1902 and 1903 , the electrical equipment came from the Österreichische Union-Elektrizitätsgesellschaft in Vienna. Two six-pole, 200 HP DC motors for 500 V voltage each work on a drive gear via a common back gear. The top speed was 7.5 km / h. Locomotive No. 3 later helped as a construction locomotive in the construction of the cogwheel route of the Rittnerbahn . The appearance of the three machines largely resembled the locomotives of the Brunnen-Morschach and Bex-Villars-Bretaye railways. In 1928 the rack section was replaced by a funicular railway, and the three locomotives were probably scrapped.

Chemins de fer électriques Veveysans

In 1911, the cog railway up from Blonay to Les Pléiades was opened, which initially operated as a pure cog railway only between Blonay and Les Pléiades. The Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft (SIG), together with the Schweizerische Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik (SLM) and the MFO, built three locomotives of the type He 2/2 for them, which had the company numbers 1 - 3. They were 5.52 meters long, weighed 17.4 tons and had an output of 390 kW. The maximum speed was 20 km / h.

Chemin de Fer de la Rhune

The locomotives delivered in 1914 were not put into operation until 1924. Locomotive no. 3 came to the Luchon – Superbagnères mountain railway in 1938 and became number 5. They were operated with three-phase current of 3 kV and 50 Hz with a two-pole overhead line.

Gornergratbahn

Inner workings of a Gornergratbahn locomotive

In 1898, the Gornergratbahn procured four rowan trains with locomotives 1 to 4. The locomotives weighed 10.5 t and their two three-phase motors each had an output of 67 kW at 800 rpm. The power was supplied with three-phase alternating current at 40 Hz via two overhead lines and the track. In 1930, locomotive 5 was added with another rowan suit. At the same time, the power frequency was increased to 50 Hz. Locomotives 1 to 4 received more powerful engines. The maximum speed is 9 km / h. The wooden structure was also replaced by a steel structure. Locomotives 1 and 3 (today 3001 and 3003) are still used with service trains. Locomotive 2 (last 3002) is a memorial in Stalden . The vehicles 3001-3003 were added to the inventory of MGBahn-Historic.

Jungfrau Railway

Model of a row suit for the Jungfrau Railway from 1906

The locomotives of the Jungfrau Railway formed a row suit with the cars . Numbers 1 - 7 were between 4.38 and 4.52 meters long and weighed 14 (No. 6 = 17) tons. They had a top speed of 9 km / h with a continuous output between 162 (No. 6) and 184 (No. 1 and 2) kW. The locomotives HGe 2/2 8 - 12 (1912, 24, 29) originally set up for adhesion and gear operation were converted to He 2/2 from 1950 to 1952.

Of the former seven locomotives, number 1 in the Lucerne Museum of Transport and number 6 in the Kořenov cogwheel railway museum have been preserved.

Schynige Platte Railway

Historical original SPB He 2/2 12, 2020

The locomotives used on the Schynige Platte Railway differ only slightly from one another. All machines are 5.74 meters long and have an output of 220 kW. Numbers 11-14 have a maximum speed of 12 km / h that is 1 km / h higher than the other locomotives and weigh 16.3 tons instead of 16 tons.

The locomotives with the numbers 15-20 and 61-63 were taken over by the Wengernalpbahn .

Vitznau-Rigi Railway

No. 18 with sports train

The number 18 of the Vitznau-Rigi Railway is 6.13 meters long and has a top speed of 18 km / h. It weighs 13.6 tons and has an output of 331 kW.

Wengernalp Railway

WAB No. 64

The locomotives of the type He 2/2 used on the Wengernalpbahn show only minor differences, apart from numbers 31 and 32 from 1995. All machines are 5.4 meters long and have a top speed of 11 km / h. Numbers 51 - 63 weigh 16 tons and have an hourly output of 220 kW, locomotive 64 weighs 16.5 tons and has an hourly output of 236 kW, as does locomotive 65 with a weight of 17 tons. The locomotives with the numbers 55 - 63 were sold to the Bernese Oberland Railway and are used by them on the Schynige Platte Railway.

Lausanne – Ouchy cog railway

The He 2/2 121-123 cogwheel locomotives built in 1958 are 6.25 meters long and weigh 18.1 tons. They had an hourly output of 464 kW and reached a top speed of 32 km / h. The mechanical part comes from the Swiss locomotive factory in Winterthur, while the electrical part comes from the machine factory in Oerlikon. Two of these vehicles, together with two passenger cars, always commuted between Flon and Ouchy, while the third locomotive and another passenger car were in reserve.
