The Ee 6/6 is an electric shunting locomotive. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) purchased two such locomotives in 1952. Since the commissioning of the ten Ee 6/6  II in 1980, they are also called Ee 6/6  I called.

It is a six-axle locomotive with a central driver's cab. It has two three-axle stems that can be adjusted to the curvature of the track like a bogie. Since the three axes are connected with coupling rods, it has the axis sequence C'C '. Each bogie has a drive motor, the power of which is transferred to the innermost axle by the Winterthur helical rod drive . It has a three-part car body and is therefore one of the real crocodiles ( Be 6/8  III , Ce 6/8  II , De 6/6 ). Technically it is related to the Ee 3/3 that were delivered at the same time, because actually two Ee 3/3 were combined with a middle locomotive body . A series acquisition was not carried out because for this purpose some Ce 6/8  II were converted into "shunting crocodiles". The locomotives were mainly used in regular operations in the Basel-Muttenz marshalling yard . In 1998 they were moved to Biel, where the 16802 suffered a drive motor defect shortly afterwards. This damage was never repaired and in 1999 the locomotive was transferred to the IW Yverdon, where useful parts were removed. Then it was released for scrapping. The second locomotive has also been scrapped; However, it was sold to a private person and has been preserved.

The locomotives were delivered with an oxide red paint. The 16801 was painted traffic red in the 1990s.
