SBB Class Ae6/6 No. 11433 on a lightweight Cement Train from Untervaz passes alongside the RhB Chur-Landquart Line at Sizers on 26th February 1990. For many years these locos were the mainstay hauling trains on the Gotthard Mainline and when introduced in the 1950's were unique for an electric loco in developing 6000HP. All were named after Swiss Cantons and Towns and carried the appropriate crest above the raised chrome numbers. This particular example now reduced to secondary duties is named Glarus an adjacent Canton to Graubunden in which Zizers is situated.
