The electric railcar ABe 4/4 71 Einsiedeln of the Swiss Southeast Railway (SOB) is considered to be the prototype of the series BDe 4/4 and RBe 4/4 , both of which were typical for Swiss rail traffic for decades.
history
The prototype was the Be 4/4 761 and 762 railcars, which were delivered to the then Bern-Neuchâtel Railway (BN) in 1953 with an hourly output of 2000 hp, one of which was used in 1954 for vehicle evaluation for test and demonstration runs on the network Südostbahn was used. These in turn were a further development of the BDe 4/4 62 Zwick of the Swiss Southeast Railway with an hourly output of 1600 hp from 1949.
The railcar, ordered in 1954 and put into service by the Südostbahn with the Einsiedeln coat of arms in 1959, was initially painted green and later green / cream. With the delivery of the railcar, for a long time, but not always, red rail clearers set the color accent typical of this railway company.
In 1979 the first class part of the railcar was converted into a 15 m² baggage compartment. This after the subsequent delivery of the Südostbahn BDe 4/4 83 to 87 was successfully completed. For this purpose, the car body had to be partially reinforced due to the changed statics. Now, apart from the installed power, the railcars renamed the BDe 4/4 80 corresponded to the high-performance railcars BDe 4/4 81 Wädenswil and BDe 4/4 82 Rapperswil, which were delivered to Südostbahn only a short time later .
As part of the merger of the Südostbahn with the Bodensee-Toggenburg-Bahn (BT), while retaining the term Südostbahn, the railcar was renamed BDe 576 048. As a result of the continuous delivery of the RABe 526 FLIRT series multiple units of the Südostbahn, the multiple units became redundant and first came to the Mirage Pendelzug association in 2008 , then to the Koblenz Depot and Rail Vehicle Association (DSF), at that time still known as the Fricktal Draisinensammlung (DSF) who exchanged the Einsiedeln coat of arms for a Koblenz coat of arms in 2011 . In 2013, the Koblenz Depot and Rail Vehicle Association put the railcar back into its original green / cream-colored state as BDe 4/4 80 with a new coat of paint including the feature of red rail clearers and the addition of a pantograph instead of a single-arm pantograph.

For a long time, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) as well as the Swiss private railways based their color description on color samples and not on RAL colors . The color scheme described here is therefore only an approximation of the original color scheme based on the RAL colors.
