motorcycle Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I read on railcolor that a locomotive has been named "Olten" and has a plaque/coat of arms too. http://www.railcolor.net/index.php?nav=1405330&id=3553&action=dview I know some Re 6/6s have names and plaques as well from seeing videos, but is there anywhere that has a list of all the names and a photo of each plaque too please?

chb1988 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Generally all Re 6/6 bear an emblem of a town or city, as do the Re 450 and RBDe 4/4 (until their recent renovation). I've found a page that lists the Re 6/6, complete with pictures: http://www.re620.ch/index.php?Page=daten The Ae 6/6 were split between the first 25, which bear the emblem of a canton, and the rest which sport the emblem of the corresponding capitals as well as other major villages. Until their sale to the Südostbahn, the four Re 4/4 IV were adorned by emblems in a similar fashion, as does one Re 4/4 II, which is the only of its class to do so. There are further classes with names, but consistency hasn't been of the same importance. The Re 460 only carry names, ranging from mountains to those of renown trade expositions; some new EMUs bear names relating to their working region, sometimes overlapping with traditional names on Ae 6/6 and others.
