The Re 4/4 II or Re 420 are universal electric locomotives from SBB and are therefore used in all categories of passenger trains and freight trains. Heavy trains are carried in double traction, heavy freight trains often together with Re 6/6 .
With 277 delivered locomotives, the Re 4/4 II is the largest series of locomotives in Switzerland to date. The Re 4/4 II was built and put into service for 21 years from 1964 to 1985.
All locomotives are equipped with the VST IIId multiple control.
prehistory
With the arrival of the Ae 6/6 on the Gotthard, a fast and powerful locomotive was available for express trains. On other routes, this train category was often in the hands of the Ae 4/7 . The disadvantage was the low top speed of 100 km / h and the impossibility of traveling in row R at higher cornering speeds. On the other hand, the Re 4/4 I light locomotives and the RBe 4/4, which had been in operation since 1959, were pushed to the limit with heavy express trains.
Therefore, the SBB tendered the development of a universal locomotive that could be used with the Bo'Bo 'wheel arrangement on the entire route network with train series R. The consortium SLM / BBC / MFO / SAAS won the tender and responded to the requirements with six beefy prototypes, the design of which was based on the Ae 6/6 .
The 80-ton vehicle with an output of 4700 kW met the expectations of the customer. The locomotives were initially put into operation with the designation Bo'Bo '. Until then, locomotives with an axle load of more than 16 t were excluded from admission to train series R. After extensive test runs, however, this approval was granted and the locomotives were designated as Re 4/4 II . (As a result, the Ae 4/4 II of the BLS could also be redrawn as Re 4/4 ). In railway circles, however, the name BoBo remained for a long time.
construction
mechanical construction
The Re 4/4 II is a four-axle, four-engine locomotive on two bogies. The wheel sets are supported by coil springs on the bogie frame. The bogie is supported by helical springs (originally rubber springs) attached deeply to the locomotive body .
The tensile force is transmitted from the bogies to the locomotive body via deep-drawn rods.
In order to enable the following bogie to enter the curve better, a flexible cross coupling was installed between the two bogies.
Electric Construction
The Re 4/4 II has a classic step switch control with regulation on the high-voltage side of the transformer and four AC motors. The braking energy of the motors can be recuperated .
The prototype 11206 was equipped with rectifiers based on the Re 4/4 of the BLS, which operated the motors as shaft current motors. The pulling force increased only marginally, so the project was not pursued any further and the vehicle was adapted to the others.
Related locomotives
The Re 4/4 III differs from the Re 4/4 II in that they have a different mechanical transmission, which limits the top speed to 125 km / h. You have a higher hourly tensile force of 200 kN compared to 170 kN of a Re 4/4 II . A locomotive was delivered to the Swiss Southeast Railway (SOB) in 1967 (Re 4/4 41) and subsequently also tested on the Gotthard. The SBB put twenty of them into operation in 1971, three of which were sold to the SOB between 1983 and 1985. All four SOB machines went (again) to the SBB in 1994–1996, and the SOB received the four Re 4/4 IV prototypes that were suitable for shuttle trains . Five Re 4/4 III locomotives were procured by the EBT group, which today belong to Crossrail AG as Re 436 .
The Ge 4/4 II of the Rhaetian Railway are similar in terms of their mechanical structure and appearance .
Locomotive variants of the Re 4/4 II
Construction series
Prototypes
The prototype locomotives (11101–11106, originally 11201–11206) only have one pantograph (originally scissor pantograph ) and initially had no white decorative stripes on the side walls (analogous to Ae 6/6). In the case of the prototypes, therefore, the lettering SBB-CFF or SBB-FFS is attached lower down on the side wall than on the series locomotives. In addition, the three windows in the side wall are a little smaller and closer together than in the series locomotives.
1st series
The locomotives of the first series (11107–11155), like the prototypes, only have one pantograph, but they are 10 cm longer than the prototypes.
2nd series
The locomotives of the second series (11156–11349 and 11371–11397) have two single-arm pantographs and are 15'410 mm (with the same bogie spacing) half a meter longer than the locomotives of the first series. The end walls of the locomotives of the 2nd series are slightly more inclined than those of the 1st series.
Correctly, the 2nd series consists of several sub-series. Apart from the translation of the Re 4/4 III, the locomotives up to 11349 do not differ from one another, the 6th series (from 11371) was built with solid wheels instead of the bandaged wheels of earlier series. Instead of the 2nd to 6th series, 3rd to 7th order tranches are also spoken of. The 2nd series (3rd order from 1966/67) includes the 11156–11215 locomotives. The 3rd series (4th order from 1968) from the Re 4/4 II 11216–11254 and Re 4/4 III 11351–11370. The 4th series (5th order from 1970) includes the 11255–11304. The second and third series were followed by follow-up orders from the MThB and EBT groups. The 5th series (6th order from 1979) includes the 11305–11349. The 6th series (7th order from 1981) includes the 11371–11397. The 5th and 6th series were only delivered after an interruption between 1981 and 1984 - the successor Re 4/4 IV was also delivered in between.
Up to the 11376 the locomotives were green ex works, the 11377 to 11397 were already painted fire red ex works. This paint was later used for repainting most of the other locomotives.
Variants and modifications
Shunting execution
- Re 4/4 II 11101
This locomotive was equipped with a fine speed meter (0–40 km / h) in 2006 and was used in Basel in the maintenance system ( external cleaning system , etc.) to move the trains. It was the last prototype locomotive that belonged to the SBB. It could still be used for route service, as it was equipped with ZUB and ETM . The 11101 was drawn in May 2013, officially retired on May 1, 2014 and was canceled on April 22, 2015 in Birmensdorf.
- Re 4/4 II 11 120
In December 2007, like the 11101, this machine was equipped with a fine speed meter for shunting services in the Basel maintenance facility. It also retains ZUB, ETM and approval for use on the route.
Swiss Express locomotives
- Re 4/4 II 11103, 11106, 11108, 11109, 11112, 11113, 11133, 11141
A number of locomotives had to be adapted to run the Swiss Express trains delivered with automatic couplings . The locomotives of the later series (from 11220, but without 11236-38) were already prepared for the UIC coupling at the factory; Since these were not yet available at the time in question, some locomotives had to be converted specifically for the Swiss Express. They received an extended bumper bar, new couplings and the matching paint in the Swiss Express colors orange-stone gray-orange. They also have the newly introduced SBB logo instead of the Swiss cross . The length over the buffers was then 15,570 instead of 15,410 mm. The automatic coupling towered over the buffers, resulting in a total length of 16,030 mm. With the adaptation of the standard car III for shuttle train operation, the ends of the compositions received normal screw couplings, and subsequently the locomotives as well.
On the occasion of major overhauls, the locomotives 11112, 11113 and 11133 were painted red; No. 11103 and 11106 were taken over by the BLS and painted silver-blue-green. The 11141 kept the Swiss-Express paintwork and was parked at the beginning of October 2007 and has been used as a heating locomotive ever since. After a general inspection in Bellinzona, the machine has been in use again since autumn 2009 in the red paint of the series. The machines 11108 and 09 are still in operation with an orange paint.
Lindau locomotives
- Re 4/4 II 11195-11200, originally 11196-11201 (1969-2006)
In order to be able to transport the express trains and later EuroCity trains from Zurich to Munich to Lindau without changing locomotives , six locomotives were equipped with a wide range of pantographs in accordance with the DB / ÖBB standard. To ensure that this does not protrude into the clearance profile in Switzerland, a pantograph with chain drive that can be lowered particularly deeply had to be used. These locomotives have no built-in Austrian train control, so they could only be used on other Austrian and German routes under special conditions. After the Indusi- equipped Re 421s from SBB Cargo took over the traction of the EC trains, the six Re 420s were normalized by 2006 .
Re 421
The Re 421 was created by converting the latest series of the Re 4/4 II and is approved in Germany. For this purpose they received the German train control system Indusi (PZB / LZB, except for 421 397 only PZB) and a pantograph with a wider rocker according to German regulations. However, this pantograph limits the maximum speed (in Germany) to 120 km / h. The wheel sets (with wheel tires fitted) could only have been approved for 140 km / h in Germany after an additional approval process. A corresponding upgrade would have been disproportionately expensive, especially since a Vmax of 120 km / h is completely sufficient for use in freight transport. The 26 Re 421 371… 397 (excluding 382) belong to SBB Cargo and are mainly used by SBB Cargo Germany, some are rented to the passenger transport company, which uses them in front of EuroCity trains Zurich - Munich . Between St. Margrethen and the Lindau terminus , they travel under catenary and with train control according to the ÖBB standard, which is functionally compliant with German requirements.
The conversion for use in Germany was limited to the Re 4/4 II of the latest series, because the manufacturers only guaranteed that these locomotives were asbestos-free, as required by the German Federal Railway Authority (EBA) .
Preparations for approval in Germany began in 1999. From 2014, the number of deployments in Germany has decreased and the locomotives are increasingly running again in Switzerland.
TEE locomotives
- Re 4/4 II 11158-11161 and 11249-11253
Some Re 4/4 II were given a TEE paint for covering TEE locomotive trains. This color scheme was mainly used for train compositions with crème-burgundy red wagons of the DB (TEE Helvetia and Roland ) and the FS (TEE Lemano ), but the machines also pulled the silver-colored French INOX wagons of the TEE Cisalpin . The locomotives not needed for TEE trains were freely used for other services.
Coat of arms locomotives
- Re 4/4 II 11239 "Porrentruy"
- Re 4/4 II 11278 "Cham"
Two Re 4/4 II have a municipal coat of arms . The 11239 locomotive received the Porrentruy coat of arms . She inherited it from Ae 6/6 11483 , which rose from the "Städtelok Porrentruy" to the "Kantonslok Jura" after the canton of Jura was founded . As the second Re 4/4 II with the municipal coat of arms, the locomotive 11278 received the coat of arms of Cham ZG . She took it over from Re 6/6 11673 , which was involved in a flank drive in Erstfeld in May 2015 and was scrapped as a spare parts donor.
Radio remote control locomotives Ref 4/4 II
The locomotives equipped with a supply station for radio remote control of an SBB Re 460 have a small 'f' in the type designation. However, this type of control never got out of the experimental stage and has no longer been possible since all Re 460s were released to passenger traffic.
ETCS equipment
For the ETCS trial operation on the Zofingen – Sempach line (2001-2003, fully operational from April 2002 to November 2003), the locomotives 11265 to 11298 (excluding the 11282 already discarded) were fitted with ETCS vehicle equipment from Bombardier and a white one the apex triangle under the side window.
The locomotives, which are now equipped with Alstom on-board units for regular (" ETCS Level 2 ") operation on new lines, are no longer specially marked, except for the units of the test operation, which have all been technically aligned with the series version, but some still bear the triangle .
40 additional locomotives were equipped with ETCS from Siemens for the ETCS commissioning of the Gotthard Railway by 2015.
air conditioning
A first attempt began in May 1993. With the Re 4/4 II 11218, driver's cab air-conditioning units were installed on the roofs above the driver's cabs. However, it stayed with this loner. The air conditioning units were later removed.
Another attempt was made in 2002. The IW Bellinzona installed an air conditioning unit on the Re 4/4 II 11160 behind each driver's seat (in the engine room). A side wall of the engine room also received a service door.
The Re 4/4 II 11162, 11242 and 11386 followed in September 2003.
After the test results were satisfactory, the SBB Board of Directors approved a loan of 60 million francs in July 2004. With this loan, all Re 420 and Re 430 are to be equipped with a driver's cab air conditioning. The hundredth air conditioning system was installed in the IW Biel from mid-2006.
The Re 421s will not receive an air conditioning system because otherwise they would have to go through the approval process in Germany again.
LION modernization program
Between 2011 and 2016, 30 machines from SBB Passenger Traffic (11201–11230) in the SBB Bellinzona industrial plant were replaced to meet the needs of the Zurich S-Bahn. They received a multiple control Vst 6c (in addition to the existing IIId), an 18-pin UIC line, new cabling with fire-retardant material, new battery chargers, Hasler TELOC 1500 speed measurement systems, driver's cab displays and Hasler SPEEDO speed indicators. Outwardly recognizable are the new LED headlights, rectangular buffers, the WBL-85 pantographs (from the Re 460, the pantographs of the Faiveley AX type), the omitted chrome letters “SBB – CFF” or “SBB – FFS” and the new color scheme based on that of the Re 460. Since December 2011, they have been used on the Zurich S-Bahn in double traction at the head and end of double-decker trains with six or ten also renewed cars for additional trains during rush hour.
Automatic clutch
In August 2018, the Re 420 280 was equipped as a prototype with the new CargoFlex type Scharfenberg hybrid coupling from Voith and has a special address "Forward!" on one side and «En avant toute!» get on the other side. A total of 12 locomotives will be equipped with this coupling. It is part of the one-person shunting operation automation project by SBB Cargo. The Re 420 288 is also the second locomotive to have the special lettering, in contrast to the Re 420 280 on one side in Italian "Avanti tutta!"
Change of ownership and discarded locomotives
sale
Six of the Re 420s were sold to BLS in December 2004 and operate there as Re 420 501 to Re 420 506. They were the green 11110, 11117, 11119, 11123, 11137 and 11142. At the end of 2005, a further six machines were sold to BLS , the 11107 and the prototypes 11102-11106. They ran at the BLS as Re 420 507 and 508-512. The Re 420 507-512 have not been used since the end of 2009. With the Re 420 510 (formerly SBB Re 4/4 II 11104) the first machine was scrapped in Emmen in February 2010 that was not seriously damaged by fire or accident damage. In June 2010 the remaining five locomotives were also scrapped in Emmen, so that the former 11102-07 have now disappeared.
In January 2013 the Re 420 503 and 506 were transferred to Travys and MBC, although they kept their numbers.
In January 2018 the Re 421 373 and 381 were sold to Widmer Rail Services (WRS) .
In September 2019 the Re 421 387 and 393 were sold to International Rolling Stock Investment (IRSI).
In November 2019, the Re 420 503 was sold by Travys to the Sersa company, which is also active in track construction .
Discards and purchase
So far 41 locomotives have been decommissioned and canceled. The Re 4/4 21 of the former Mittelthurgau Railway became the property of the SBB and was given the number of the discarded 11172.
Accident-related
11113 (retired 2004)
On October 24, 2003, the locomotive ran train 1629, which collided with train 2583 at Oerlikon station . The locomotive was so badly damaged that it was no longer worth repairing. After approval by the investigating authorities, the locomotive body was transferred to Kaiseraugst and scrapped.
11172 ( retired 1978)
On Friday, December 8th, 1978, the locomotive ran into a freight train near Vaumarcus on another freight train standing in front of the signal. The locomotive was so badly destroyed that it was only possible to decommission it in December 1978. The number 11172 was taken over in 2003 by the former MThB Re 4/4 II 21, which is between the 11215 and 11216 locomotives in terms of factory numbers.
11179 ( retired 2016)
The locomotive derailed on April 1, 2016 in Stein-Säckingen. In September 2016 it was transferred to Kaiseraugst for demolition.
11184 (retired 2015)
The locomotive was involved in a collision with an NPZ on October 6, 2011 in Olten . In the process, she tipped over and was badly damaged. It was shut down on September 14, 2012, discarded and canceled on August 3, 2015.
11274 ( retired 2015)
On February 3, 2010, a shunting locomotive train consisting of the Re 6/6 11622 and the Re 4/4 II 11272 collided with parked locomotives in the RB Basel. The front locomotive Re 4/4 II 11274 was so badly damaged that it was scrapped in August 2015.
11282 (retired 1975)
The locomotive carried out test drives with a T2S sleeping car for the DB up to 160 km / h between Chur and Landquart. During a trip from Chur on Thursday, October 30, 1975, the brake taps were not opened. Contrary to the regulations, the test train was placed at the entry signal. The train could not be stopped with the braking force of the locomotive alone, it crashed into a freight train with tanker truck that was run by the Ae 4/7 10906 and crossed its track. The locomotive, which was only two years old, burned out and was officially scrapped in December 1975.
11312 ( retired 1985)
The locomotive collided on Saturday, September 14, 1985 near Bussigny, between Renens and Denges, after crossing a red signal, with the two multi-controlled Ae 4/7 10940 and 11011. After assessing the damage to the only four-year-old locomotive, it had to be forced in October 1985 be formally discarded.
420 317 (intended for scrapping)
The locomotive caught fire on February 16, 2018 between Lenzburg and Othmarsingen as the locomotive of the Genève-Zurich Mülligen letter mail train. It is now cannibalized in the Bellinzona industrial plant.
11323 (retired in 2005)
On March 23, 2005, the locomotive burned out due to a technical defect (tap-changer explosion) in Arth-Goldau. It was officially scrapped on June 1, 2005 and the locomotive body was transferred to Kaiseraugst for scrapping in the penultimate week of August.
11333 (retired 2016)
On May 13, 2015, shortly after midnight, two freight trains collided from the side at Erstfeld station. The locomotive, which ran a train together with the Re 6/6 11673, was so badly damaged that it was cannibalized in the Bellinzona industrial plant. On October 21, 2016, it was transferred to the scrap dealer.
11382 ( retired in 2002)
Retired on July 2, 2002 after a fire in Leventina on January 31, 2002.
421 395 (retired 2017)
On February 7, 2017, shortly after 4:30 am, freight train 63110 Gossau- RBL collided with a construction vehicle west of Winterthur station. The driver of the vehicle was fatally injured in the impact. The leading locomotive 421 395 was so badly damaged that it was demolished in Kaiseraugst in December 2017.

Allocation to freight transport and passenger transport
With the divisionalization on September 1, 1999, the locomotives 11101-155, 181, 191-270 and 299-304 went to the Passenger Traffic Division and the 11156-171, 11173-180, 11182-190, 11271-298, 11305-311, 11313 –349 and 11371–397 in the Freight Transport Division. At the end of 2002 the 11172 "ex MThB was added to the passenger traffic, a year later the 11225-264 were transferred to SBB Cargo. At the end of 2004 the 11225-230 were exchanged for the 11265-270 and six locomotives (see numbers above) were sold to BLS At the end of 2005, the 11102-107 went to BLS and the 11156-159, 161 and 164 came from Cargo to passenger traffic.
- Passenger traffic (Basel shunting service): 11120
- Passenger traffic: 11108… 159 (44 pieces), 161, 164, 172, 181, 191–230, 299–304
- SBB Cargo: 420 or 11160, 162, 163, 165–171 173… 179, 182… 190, 231–281, 283–298, 305–311, 313–322, 324–349 and 421 371–381, 383– 397
Depending on requirements, a certain number of these locomotives are always rented, often from SBB Cargo to passenger transport, but also vice versa and from SBB Cargo to third parties. To cover the EuroCity as far as Lindau, five Re 421s have been rented by Personenverkehr. Since January 1, 2015, these trains may only be hauled by Re 421 with UIC-18 door control (421 371, 379, 383, 392, 394).
