Electric locomotive 11131 (Re 4/4 II) of the Swiss Federal Railways
(SBB) is presented in its original fir green colour in a condition
matching that of Epoch IV. The electric locomotive, which
originated in the halls of SLM / BBC and was built in 1967,
continued to run with its former colour scheme until a larger R3
model came around, when it was painted red like many other
locomotives of this type. The locomotives of the first construction
series (11107-11155) have only one pantograph like the prototypes,
but they are 10 cm longer. With 277 locomotives delivered, the Re
4/4 II is the largest traction unit series in Switzerland to date.
The Re 4/4 II was built and put into service for 21 years from 1964
to 1985. The 11131 has since been decommissioned and scrapped.
