Hallo Maik,
Pleas schau dir mal; den link an,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_%28locomotive%29
Da steht do zu lesen:
Crocodile electric locomotives are so called because they have long \"noses\" at each end, reminiscent of the snout of a crocodile (see also Steeplecab). These contain the motors and drive axles, and are connected by an articulated center section. The center section usually contains the crew compartments, pantographs and transformer.
The name was first applied to Swiss locomotives. Sometimes the term is applied to locomotives in other countries of a similar design.
So viel zu Schwein oder Krokodil.
gruss Pius
