With an hourly output of 7,850 kW and a top speed of 140 km/h, the Re 6/6, which went into service for the first time in 1972, is still one of the most powerful locomotives in Switzerland. In order to achieve higher cornering speeds, the wheel arrangement Bo'Bo'Bo' was given preference over the usual Co'Co'. The more complex three bogies - further developed from the 4/4?? - also proved to be very advantageous in relation to wheel flange and track wear. The Re 6/6 can be found everywhere, be it in single traction, in multiple control among themselves and especially in freight traffic mostly as so-called Re 10/10 together with a Re 4/4?? or Re 4/4???.
