Comment: In 1919, the Swiss industry delivered four test locomotives for various uses to be selected as suitable units for electric operation on the Gotthard, among them freight locomotive Fc 2x3/4 (starting in 1920: class Ce 6/8I) 12201. It was a 2-6-6-2 freight locomotive taking into special account the line conditions on the Gotthard. It could pull a maximum of 860 metric tons up a 1.2% grade. Its locomotive body rode on two three-axle power trucks, each of which was driven by two traction motors using jackshafts, driving rods, and side rods. Originally planned only as a six-axle unit, the electrical part turned out to be so heavy that two additional pilot wheel sets as well as small hoods became necessary. Due to these hoods, the unit was quickly given the nickname "K”fferli-Lok" / "Little Suitcases Locomotive", but "Schlotterbeck" or (approximately) "Shuttering Tank" also gained popularity due to its rough riding.Between 1921 and 1938, road number Ce 6/8I 12201 (starting in 1930: 14201) ran on the Gotthard. Then it went to Basle having proved itself in heavy freight train service. With increasingly scarce use being made of it by 1967, it was pulled from normal service. As an historic one-of-a-kind, however it was in line for preservation and was assigned to the Bern Depot for brake testing. A brilliantly executed overhaul of the running gear in 1968 at the main shops in Yverdon suddenly gave this veteran better running characteristics than ever before. After a running performance of around 2,500,000 kilometers / 1,562,500 miles, this locomotive was finally retired at the end of May 1982 as the last Gotthard prototype. For many years, it reminded people of the pioneering period for electric motive power on the SBB in the Lucerne Transportation Museum. Since then, it has also been at the depot in Erstfeld as an exhibition piece, where it is cared for superbly by the SBB Historic Team in Erstfeld.
