Special locomotive for 175 years of Swiss Railways
The ceremonial rollout took place on 09.03.2022 in Yverdon-les-Bains/Switzerland.
A big anniversary is coming up this year in Switzerland. 175 years ago, on August 9, 1847, the first railroad ran between Zurich and Baden on the so-called Spanish Brötli Railway.
It all started with the Spanish Brötli - a delicious pastry made in the Swiss spa town of Baden. Of course, this is not quite true, but on August 9, 1847, the first railroad built in Switzerland started its scheduled service from Zurich to Baden. Now the servants of Zurich´s fine society could comfortably pick up the famous pastries arriving by train early in the morning and deliver them punctually to the Sunday breakfast table without having to make an hour-long hike to Baden and back. Therefore, the name Spanish Roll Train soon became established for this route.
In the years that followed, a rail construction boom broke out in Switzerland as well, reaching a line length of 2,457 km within 35 years. Finally, between 1902 and 1909, the nationalization of five major railroad companies created the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). As a result, an increasingly dense rail network wove its way across Switzerland, which is still used extensively today. After all, the Swiss have an absolute record for rail usage, with each person traveling an average of about 1,800 km by train per year.
To mark this memorable anniversary, SBB is presenting an electric locomotive with an appropriately eye-catching special design. The locomotive chosen for this occasion is the Re 420 251 (ex Re 4/4 II 11251), a universally usable class that has been the mainstay of locomotive-hauled SBB traffic for decades and, with 276 built between 1964 and 1985, also has the highest number of any class built for the Swiss railroads.
