Note: Today the DBB (Dampfbahn Bern) had her 40 years anniversary, so they made a tour on the old Hauenstein line, with Eb 3/5 and Ec 4/5 in "Double-Traction". I took this picture this morning around 08'15 AM. Unfortunately it was very rainy and so the photo is blurry. Its quite a sensation usualy this two locos are alone on the tracks and they are the biggest and most powerful locomotvies the DBB has.
