They have rail brakes and electric resistance brakes. Class El9 was in service on the line to Flåm until 1984, then used for shunting at Ål. In 1989 it received its original green paint and was brought to Flåm where it is now standing as a monument; a sister locomotive is preserved in Ål. 2005-08-14. tobias b köhler
