Former Zementwerk Bad Berka electric locomotive, Weimar
Historic industrial electric locomotive of the Bad Berka cement plant exhibited at the 20th festival of the former railway depot Weimar. This EL 4 type locomotive with the serial number 12821 was delivered in 1972 by LEW to the cement plant of Bad Berka. There it received the operation number III and was converted from the delivery type (600 V DC) to the company's own power system with 220 volts DC. It replaced a 1898-built locomotive which originated from the three-phase test track Marienfelde-Zossen now on display at Dresden Transport Museum. The EL 4 was used until the closure of the industrial railway in Bad Berka and is at the Thuringian Railway Museum Weimar since 23 March of 2010. Photo taken Sunday 31 May 2015.
