SWISS FEDERAL RAILWAYS PERPETUATE MODERN CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC-TRACTION TECHNIQUES FOR ITS LATEST 8,000 KW LOCOMOTIVES

Class Re6/6 Bo-Bo-Bo 120-tonne electric locomotives developed for 800-tonne trains over the Gotthard route using a conventional frame design after trials with prototypes incorporating both jointed and full length underframes and superstructures. Conclusions on signal/telecommunication interference protection currently assessed in respect to thyristor control and considered to outweigh advantages achieved due to long-term immunisation programme involved.
