One of the three-phase HG 2/2 trains reaches the "valley station" at the Col de Saint-Ignace pass at 198 m above sea level in Kärze. There I asked a train driver what the locomotive was called - "locomotive", was the answer: He 2/2 or something similar only made me shake my head. Internet research revealed that the He 2/2 1 - 4 were built in 1914 by the SLM and BBC under the factory number 2428 - 2431; they came into operation when the railway opened in 1924. The He 2/2 3 locomotive was with the He 2/2 3 from 1938 Luchon Superbagnères cable car in use. Today six of seven locomotives are in use on the Chemin de La Rhune, as after the closure of the Luchon Superbagnères mountain railway, the He 2/2 built by SLM with the serial numbers 2233 -2235 came to the Chemin de La Rhune, with the H 2 /2 4 accidents.
