| Remarks & Notes |
| "Rhaetian Crocodile" or "C-C" Ge 6/6 I # 415 (built in 1929) had to be completely rewired after a cable fire. It was also rust repaired and repainted in the original brown. A special paint was sprayed over it, which will be removed after about a year (solvent-based liquid rubber in pearl / metallic effect, also called "Sparkling Ocean" or Chameleon or Flip Flop Colour changing Pearl). The action was apparently initiated and paid for by two well-known model train manufacturers (Märklin/LGB and Bemo) and should mark 100 years of complete electrification of the Rhaetian Railway in 2022. The locomotive is now operational again and made a load test run from Landquart to Davos Platz and back today with 150 ton in tow. Between Davos Wolfgang and Davos Platz, the train runs through the lightly snow-covered forest. About Chameleon sprayed paint: When moving around, chameleon paint will change colour. The light reflection on chameleon spray paint gives the multi-coloured changing special effect.
