Some Re 420 goes to a refit program and will haul supplement commuter trains in Zurich area. There will be a locomotive at every end (we call that sandwich train) connected by multiple control, that means that every one of this double deck train will be pulled and pushed by nearly 13'000 HP!

Really lovely shot here. :thumbsup: :D ;)
I haven't seen it before so I am going to question it now: Do Trains in Switzerland run (usually, normally...) in the left side (line)? Or do they run in the right side? :)

~SwissTrain Jun 15, 2010
yes we have left side traffic

~Comboio-Bolt Jun 15, 2010
Nice and interesting! :D We also drive in left side. ;)
But then it makes me question... why does the RhB has, at least, the driver's seat on the right side? Do they drive in right side? Or is the RhB line something out of the usual railway? :)

Same here although the drivers seat is on the right hand side of the cab.
