HAPPY BIRTHDAY E94 001!!
I was reminded earlier today looking at the website of a Dutch enthusiast, that this is the 80th Birthday of E94 001, thankfully still in existence and operational in preservation.
Built by AEG in the Spring of 1940, her first test run took place on the 24th May 1940 from Munich to Brenner, and she entered service at Innsbruck shed the day after.
Back in 1986, with the loco by now at Villach in Southern Austria, I went there at the end of a week's Railrover to try to get a few photos. One of those days that really didn't work out at all well weatherwise, as you can see, but nonetheless a shot of this historic loco in service near Arnoldstein.
