The Re 460 (popularly known as the Lok 2000) series are modern four-axle electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways. Upon their entry into service in the early 1990s, they replaced the Ae 3/6I [de], Ae 4/7, and Re 4/4I [de] series units, and displaced many of the Re 4/4II series into lesser duties.

Close
The series was introduced as part of the Rail 2000 project, a massive project to modernise and improve the capacity of Switzerland's railways.[4] While originally designed as a multipurpose locomotive, they are now used for passenger services only, often in conjunction with the IC 2000 double-decker trains (often used to pull InterCity and InterRegio trains in German and French language areas). Their freight role has been assumed by Re 482s. They are maintained at Yverdon.
