On 24 January 1905, electric operation began on the 23.7 km-long track into the Ammertal Valley. It was the first journey of an electric train under a simple alternating current overhead line. It was the first line to be equipped with a new system, the "traction current" still in use in Central and Northern Europe today.
The line was initially used with electric railcars, and later with small electric locomotives travelling at speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour. The energy, in the form of single-phase alternating current, came from the Kammerl hydroelectric power station on the Ammer River. From 1930, the bulky LAG 5 – later 169 005 – joined the fleet of electric locomotives on the Oberammergau Railway. Despite its length of only 8.7 metres, the powerful little train proved that it was a first-rate vehicle.
For decades, the railway, with the idyllic surroundings of a local Bavarian railroad, was a special attraction for all railway enthusiasts. The era of the "Neinasechzga" train for local transport on the Oberammergau Railway came to an end in May 1981. As the old locomotives were removed, regular operations took over and the charm of an incomparable era was lost forever.
