The Re 420 (in the previous numbering scheme, the Re 4/4) series are the most common electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways. They are used for passenger services throughout Switzerland alone or in pairs. For freight services, they are sometimes paired with the Re 620, especially in mountainous regions.
The Re 420 locomotives were produced over a period of 21 years, from 1964 to 1985.
Six of the type have been equipped with a wider pantograph wiper in order to conform with DB and ÖBB standards, which allows these units to operate EuroCity trains over the border to Bregenz and Lindau.
