Red Arrow Powered Rail Car
Just in time for the 125th anniversary of the opening of the Oensingen-Balsthal Railroad the RCe 2/4 607 "Roter Pfeil" / "Red Arrow" was overhauled and made operational again. It was originally put into service by the SBB on January 25, 1938, and in 1974 was sold by the SBB to the OeBB after being retired in 2019 due to motor damage. It can now be leased again for special runs. This decorative unit offers seating for 62 passengers. The maximum speed is 125 km/h / 78 mph, and the service weight is 38 metric tons. The length over the buffers for this overall elegant, powered rail car in terms of its shape measures 22.4 meters / 72 feet 9 inches.
Prototype: Class RCe 2/4 "Roter Pfeil" / "Red Arrow" electric express powered rail car, 3rd class, as a museum unit for extra runs maintained by the Oensingen-Balsthal Railroad, Inc. (OeBB). Refurbished this powered rail car looks externally as it did in the Mid-Fifties in a crimson basic paint scheme of the SBB. Powered rail car road number 607. The unit looks as did in 2023.
