what is it?
The Ee 3/3IV, the fourth iteration of the Ee 3/3 series, is a class of ten shunting locomotives specially designed for use as pilots at border stations. The complicated equipment needed for four different electrical systems required a higher and wider body in front of and behind the cab and a reduction in power. Nevertheless, thanks to a modern crank drive, a maximum speed of 60 km/h can be attained.
