Ballenberg Rack Steam
Loco, 1067
THE PROTOTYPE
The Brünigbahn runs from Lucer-
ne across the Brünig Pass to
Interlaken, where it connects to
the Berner Oberland-Bahnen
(BOB). Between 1910 and 1926,
the Swiss Locomotive and Machi-
ne Works (SLM) built seventeen
HG 3/3 rack steam locomotives
for the Brünigbahn, as well as four
for the Berner Oberland-Bahnen.
These locos hauled trains on the
mixed rack and adhesion line. The
Brünigbahn was converted to
catenary operation in 1941, but
the last five HG 3/3s were used
as backups and for freight traffic
until 1965.
Today one of these fascinating
locos can be examined at the
Swiss Transportation Museum in
Lucerne, while another is display-
ed at the Meiringen station. Loco
No. 1067 has been restored and
can be enjoyed on historic pas-
senger trains on the Ballenberg
Dampfbahn, a steam operated
museum railway running from
Interlaken Ost to Giswil.
The rack mechanism of the HG
3/3 is powered by separate cylin-
ders and gears, which rotate in
the opposite direction and faster
than the mechanism driving the
wheels.
The separate rack
mechanism is turned off when the
loco is on level tracks, allowing
the loco to travel at higher speeds
powered by adhesion alone.
