E637 "Knight Templar"

Etorean National Railway No. E637 (Electric prototype locomotive, Artemis Foundry Works No. 11637) "Knight Templar" was a prototype electric engine that was trialed between 1957 and 1960. She ran between the quarries in County Murray and Athenais Docks is Knightsbridge. Her trials were successful but was withdrawn after 5 years in service due to cracks being found in the bogies. In 1963 she was purchased for preservation by the ETC (Etorean Transport Commission) for what would become the national collection.
