    Been watching this Train TV video of E94 ÖBB 1020 MWB in German language on the Main Spessart Bahn. My question is this was the MWB E94 ÖBB 1020 used to pull ÖBB freight trains Hagen Vorhalle Köln Kalk to Wien Kledering Villach Süd Salzburg Gnigl & Hall in Tyrol for Innsbruck over the Old Spessart Rampe Laufach Heigenbrücken or not? This or DB BR151 not seen in game. This is the video I'm talking about

    The Krokodil wasn't fast, but it had a stonking great load of tractive force- almost as much as the much later 151! Even so, it was traditional on the Rampe to pick up a helper: in this video, the E 94 is acting as a helper to a 185, which can't do it by itself.
    PS: that isn't an OBB Krokodil: it's owned by Mittelweserbahn (at the time of the video; later she was sold to Salzburger Lokalbahn)
