This is the oldest electric locomotive in Germany which is still doing regular traffic. Since the "21" was delivered to the "Extertalbahn" (a private society) in 1927 it is working without interrupts or modifications. Its normal job is freight traffic, but the railway friends of this line have sometimes special occasions with historic passenger cars. Photo taken from postcard (c)Verlag Jos. Grobbel

The "22" of the private line "Verkehrsbetriebe Extertal" at work. Since it was delivered in 1927 it is still hauling regular freight trains. After an accident it was modified in 1964. The windows were enlarged and instead of the old luggage room a ballast weight was installed. Photo taken from postcard (c)Verlag Jos. Grobbel
