what is it?
The Re 460, popularly known as the Lok 2000, are a class of modern four-axle electric locomotives of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS), similar to the Re 465 of BLS. Although designed as multipurpose locomotives, the Re 460 are now used only for hauling long-distance passenger trains in Switzerland (one service to Konstanz). Variants of the Re 460 are used in China, Finland, India and Norway. The Lok 2000-family locomotives are the last mainline locomotives to be quasi fully developed and produced by Swiss companies.
