On 27 October 1974, the main workshop at Bellinzona held an open day. In this railway history we show some pictures from this event.
The Be 4/6 12320 is standing in the garden of the main workshop Bellinzona. A short time later, the sister locomotive 12323 was discarded and served as a spare parts donor for the refurbishment of 12320 to a historic locomotive. The Be 4/6 12320 left the Bellinzona works in mid 1975 in a brown livery. October 27 1974 Photo: Edi Meier, Bülach
