LGB 26273 G Steam locomotive 3/4 Rhatia of the RhB
The Rhatia was the first locomotive of the then Landquart-Davos-Bahn as LD 1 delivered by the SLM in Winterthur in 1889. With an output of 250 hp, the locomotive, weighing 30 tons and 45 km/h, was state-of-the-art and was used in the normal train service. But soon the small locomotives of the G ¾ series were replaced by stronger machines in less demanding services until they became superfluous after the complete electrification of the RhB network in the early 20s. In 1928, locomotive no. 1 was phased out and planned for a planned Swiss railway museum. In 1970 the locomotive arrived at the Blonay-Chamby museum railway in western Switzerland, where it was kept in a safe place. In anticipation of the 100-year anniversary of the RhB, the locomotive returned to the RhB in 1988, was reworked there and used before special trains on the anniversary in 1989. Also in the following years special trains were regularly covered with the Rhatia until it was shut down in 2014 due to expiry of the deadline. In order to repair the locomotive again, there were many calls for donations, even with the corresponding models â thus the locomotive will continue to serve as a testimony from the early days of the RhB.
