The Re 6/6 are six-axle electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways that were purchased as a replacement for the Ae 6/6 for heavy-duty service on the Gotthard. With an hourly output of 7,850 kW and a top speed of 140 km/h, the Re 6/6, which first entered service in 1972, is still one of the most powerful locomotives in Switzerland today.
The Re 6/6 11673 "Cham" was officially inaugurated on 12 May 1979. After almost 40 years of service, it unfortunately had an accident on 13 May 2015 during a side collision at Erstfeld station, after which the locomotive was decommissioned and broken up. However, the "Cham" emblem of the Re 6/6 11673 has lived on since then on the Re 4/4 11278, preserving it.
