Swiss Express Re 4/4 II 11108 electric locomotive with AK69 automatic couplers

Re 4/4^II 11108 electric locomotive of the Swiss Federal Railways - SBB CFF FFS equipped with AK69 automatic couplers installed for the Swiss Express service. After the service is abandoned in 1982, all Re 4/4^II electric locomotives dedicated for the service are refitted with screw couplings.

The lack of EW III-compatible passenger coaches with control units at the time of the Swiss Express service (units Bt 29-34 990 - 996 are converted from B 29-34 passenger coaches in 1985, after the end of the Swiss Express service) meant a locomotive change was required at terminal stations like the Zürich train station.
