Note: A session at Basel Mainstation, I got some nice re 420 pcitures, here is No.11120 entering into the station with the green Bpm waggons, as InterRegio. Somone here told me once that this is his picture of the swiss railway, an red re 420 and green waggons. As you can see she has only one pantograph and an old one this means she is one of the 1st series locos, you see also that she has pretty shiny "Wheels" that because she got recently new wheel bandages (so called in switzerland)
