Fleischmann 7560022 Electric locomotive 169 005 of the German Federal Railways N Gauge, Analogue, Era IV. On January 24, 1905, electric operation began on the 23.7 km long railway line in the Ammertal. It was the first trip of an electric train under a simple alternating current overhead line. It was thus the first section to be equipped with a new system, the "rail current" still used today in central-northern Europe. Initially the route was carried out with electric railcars and later with small electric locomotives that reached speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour. The energy, in the form of single-phase alternating current, came from the Kammerl an der Ammer hydroelectric power station. From 1930 the robust LAG 5 – later 169 005 – strengthened the electric locomotive fleet of the Oberammergau Railway. Despite its length of only 8.7 m, the small power plant performed very well. For decades the railway, with its intimacy and the idyllic setting of a local Bavarian railway, has held a special fascination for all railway enthusiasts. In May 1981, the era of the “Neinasechzga” in local transport on the Oberammergau Railway came to an end. With the retirement of the old locomotives regular operation resumed and the charm of an incomparable era was irremediably lost.
