The E.656 class is a six-axle Italian electric locomotive nicknamed "Caimano". It is a further development of the classes E.636, E.645 and E.646 with a likewise split locomotive body. However, compared to the class E.636, they have modified axle and pivot spacing. The high tractive power and the maximum speed of 150 km/h enable use in front of passenger and goods trains.
