| A Re 4/4 III with a different gear set for cargo trains can reach 125 kph / 80 mph only. But still sufficient for the intercity train Stuttgart - Zurich, which runs most on older tracks. The class 421 is homoglated for Germany too, therefore the Passenger Division of SBB rented this unit in, as they are short of engines and on the other side they can provide a through service without change on engine to DB AG. |
