Y la verdad fue que salvo unos pequeños detalles se hizo una despedida a lo grande a las locomotoras mas elegantes que ha tenido renfe en sus vias.Evientemente hablo de las locomotoras de la serie 354(mas conocidas como talgas).En verdad esa quedada la empece en Santo domingo de la Calzada con Jacob y al dia siguiente nos fuimos agregando gente a medida que nos acercabamos a la linea Chinchilla-Murcia,mas conocido como "el ultimo reducto de las Talgas".Sinceramnte se podia haberlas fotografiado por los tramos por Albacerte o la propia Chinchilla pero al final nos decidimos por fotografiarlas en linea sin electrificar(decision para mi gusto mas que acertada).Para acabar la descripcion os dejo la foto del Altaria nº 229 Cartagena-Madrid Chamartin poco antes de llegar a Hellin.Ah agradecer y dedicar la foto a todos los que alli estuvimos que fueron Oscar(Powell333) y su padre,Pepelu,jacob(Archie250),Alex(water Series),Jose Ignacio(Nacho_Teruel),Javier Cortes(Panacas),Alberto(Metro Murcia354)y Antonio David(AD Yecla) a todos ellos Gracias!!

Ge 4/4III, 642, Breil/Brigels.
The Rhaetian Railway Ge 4/4 III is a class of metre gauge Bo-Bo electric locomotives of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB), which is the main railway network in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland.
The class is so named because it was the third class of locomotives of the Swiss locomotive and railcar classification type Ge 4/4 to be acquired by the Rhaetian Railway. According to that classification system, Ge 4/4 denotes a narrow gauge electric adhesion locomotive with a total of four axles, all of which are drive axles.
In order to manage the sharp increase in traffic on its network after the opening of the Vereina Tunnel, the Rhaetian Railway joined in 1989 with SLM and ABB, to develop a new generation of electric locomotives, the drive train of which was to be based upon AC technology with GTO Thyristors. The original plan for a six axle variant of the Ge 4/4 II, which would have had benefits on the nearly straight section of line through the tunnel, was rejected, in favour of a universally deployable locomotive with four axles, which could also be used on sections with tight radius curves.
The result was the Ge 4/4 III class, designed for 11 kV AC at a frequency of 16 2/3 Hz, and with a top speed of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph). The Ge 4/4 IIIs weigh 62 tonnes (61 LT; 68 ST) and have an output of 2,400 kilowatts (3,200 hp) at 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph). They are 16,000 millimetres (630 in) long and 3,860 millimetres (152 in) high. Their control technology corresponds almost completely with that of the SBB-CFF-FFS Re 460 class of locomotive.
On 7 December 1993, the first Ge 4/4 III machine, no 641, was officially put into service. Between 1994 and 1999, eleven further locomotives followed, in three series, and were given numbers 642 to 652. The first of these further orders, made in 1989, consisted of six locomotives, and the second further order, in 1990, was for three. The third, in 1996, was intended to cover the additional demand due to the opening of the Vereina Tunnel, and was for another three machines.
The Ge 4/4 IIIs are now found at the head of almost all of the train sets on the Albula Railway, and they are the only locomotives used to haul car trains through the Vereina Tunnel. All of the locomotives in the class are currently decorated with colourful advertising liveries.
The 12 locomotives were given names of small communities in Graubünden, on the territory of which the Rhaetian Railway operates. Depending upon the livery applied to each particular locomotive, the names are applied at various places on the right and left sides of the vehicle, with the traffic number between 641 and 652 applied to each front end, and also on the lower sides. Beside the name on each locomotive is also the emblem of the particular place.
Similar locomotives operate also on the Bière-Apples-Morges Railway (BAM), (french: Chemin de fer Bière-Apples-Morges), as Ge 4/4 Nos. 21 and 22, as well as on the Montreux–Oberland Bernois (MOB) Railway, (french: Chemin de fer Montreux-Oberland bernois), as Ge 4/4 Nos. 8001-8004.

Die RhB Ge 4/4 III sind vierachsige Schmalspur-Elektrolokomotiven der Schweizer Rhätischen Bahn (RhB) mit der Bauartbezeichnung Ge 4/4.
Um den Mehrverkehr nach der Eröffnung des Vereinatunnels bewältigen zu können, entwickelte die Rhätische Bahn 1989 gemeinsam mit SLM und ABB eine neue Lokomotivgeneration, deren Antrieb auf der Drehstromtechnik mit GTO-Thyristoren basiert. Die ursprüngliche Planung einer sechsachsigen Variante der Ge 4/4 II, die auf der nahezu geradlinigen Tunnelstrecke Vorteile gehabt hätte, wurde zugunsten einer auch auf Strecken mit engen Radien universell einsetzbaren Lokomotive mit vier Achsen verworfen.
Das Ergebnis war die 100 km/h schnelle Serie Ge 4/4 III, die für eine Wechselspannung von 11 kV bei einer Frequenz von 16,7 Hz ausgelegt wurde. Die Loks haben ein Gewicht von 62 Tonnen und eine Leistung von 2400 kW bei 80 km/h. Ihre Länge beträgt 16.000 mm, ihre Höhe 3.860 mm und die Breite 2.800 mm. Die Leittechnik entspricht nahezu vollständig der SBB-Serie Re 460.
Am 7. Dezember 1993 wurde die erste Maschine, Ge 4/4 III 641, offiziell in Dienst gestellt. Zwischen 1994 und 1999 folgten 11 weitere Loks in drei Lieferserien mit den Nummern 642 bis 652. Die erste Bestellung (1989) umfasste sechs, die zweite von 1991 drei und die dritte von 1996, die den Zusatzbedarf durch die Eröffnung des Vereinatunnels abdecken sollte, nochmals drei Maschinen. Auf der Albulabahn findet man sie vor fast allen Zuggarnituren, und die Autozüge durch den Vereinatunnel werden nur durch sie befördert. Alle Loks sind mit farbenfrohen Werbeanstrichen versehen.
Die 12 Lokomotiven erhielten Namen von kleineren Ortschaften in Graubünden, auf dessen Kantonsgebiet die Rhätische Bahn ihr Streckennetz betreibt. Die Namen stehen je nach Lackierung an verschiedenen Stellen auf rechter und linker Seite des Fahrzeuges, die Betriebsnummern 641-652 auf den beiden Stirnseiten, sowie seitlich unten. Neben dem Namen befindet sich auf jeder Lok zusätzlich das Wappen des jeweiligen Ortes.
Ähnliche Lokomotiven verkehren auch bei der Bière-Apples-Morges-Bahn (BAM), (frz.: Chemin de fer Bière-Apples-Morges), als Ge 4/4 Nr. 21+22, sowie bei der Montreux–Berner Oberland-Bahn (MOB), (frz.: Chemin de fer Montreux-Oberland bernois), als Ge 4/4 Nr. 8001-8004.
