With an hourly output of 7,850 kW and a top speed of 140 km/h, the Re 6/6, which was first put into operation in 1972, is still considered one of the strongest locomotives in Switzerland today. Today, all the remaining engines have been re-designated Re 620 and are operated in blue/red livery by SBB Cargo. The Re 620 088 was selected to bear the Xrail Allianz advertisement.
