With their unusual wheel arrangement (1A)'Bo(A1)', the 1670 series locomotives had a certain special position in the ÖBB's vehicle fleet. The two middle drive axles are firmly mounted in the frame, the outer drive axles are

combined with the adjacent running axles to form a bogie.

The locomotives were initially intended for express train service, especially on the route between Salzburg and Innsbruck.

The 1670.02 was built in 1928 by the Krauss & Co locomotive factory in Linz. It was based in Innsbruck from 1965 until it was decommissioned in September 1980 and was in use until the end in a pine green color scheme and without the ÖBB logo.
