On May 22, 1975, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) introduced the "Swiss Express" train category together with the commissioning of the Heitersberg line and existed until 1982. This category replaced the former city express trains. At that time, they were considered the flagship trains of the SBB and served the most important traffic axis, Geneva - St. Gallen. Back then, the trains were hauled by eight specially refurbished Re 4/4 II locomotives. Unfortunately, only the 11108 and 11109 still bear witness to the original livery.
With the Re 4/4 II 11108, we are announcing one of the most popular locomotives. The "Cremeschnitte," as it is affectionately known, was still in regular service until 2021 and is now parked in Olten. There it awaits further use.
