1879 on an exhibition on a 300 m narrow gauge line.
Originally it was intended for a mine in Cottbus.
150 V DC from a central power rail, power 2.2 kW, speed 13 km/h
(6 km/h with three trailers and passengers). Built by Siemens
& Halske. A replica of this train is in Berlin, but this is
the original.
