Electric locomotive double traction Re 10/10, SBB

Electric locomotive double traction Re 10/10 of the Swiss Federal Railways.

For the sake of simplicity, the double traction of Re 4/4 II and Re 6/6 is referred to as Re 10/10. This name is derived from the ten driven axles that the double-unit has, and therefore does not refer to a separate locomotive type. The Re 10/10 are used by the SBB almost exclusively in front of heavy freight trains on the Gotthard route. The strong duo manages the prescribed maximum load of 1,400 tons on the drawbar at 80 kilometers per hour on a gradient of 26 per thousand.
