SBB Re 460

Diesel and Electric Locomotives

The Re 460, popularly known as Lok 2000, is a class of 119 four-axle electric locomotives of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS). It was introduced in the early 1990s as part of the Rail 2000 project to modernise and expand the capacity of Swiss railways, and it replaced older series such as the Ae 3/6 I, Ae 4/7 and Re 4/4 I. Designed as a multipurpose locomotive, it is now used only for long-distance passenger trains, often with IC 2000 double-deck or EW IV coaches. SBB modernised the whole class between 2017 and 2022, replacing GTO traction converters with IGBT converters for better energy efficiency. A slightly more powerful variant runs for BLS as the Re 465, and related designs run in Finland, Norway, India and Hong Kong.
