Class RBe 2/4 Electric Express Powered Rail Car

37868 (Trix 22868) – SBB Class RBe 2/4 Electric Express Powered Rail Car As the "Rote Pfeile" / "Red Arrows" the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) lightweight powered rail cars built in the Thirties quickly achieved a great deal of fame. Originally planned for service on routes with weak passenger loads, these popular powered rail cars soon drifted into excursion service. They were retired between 1966 and 1986 after different rebuilding programs and several new designations. Three "Rote Pfeile" / "Red Arrows" have remained preserved: RAe 2/4 1001 (SBB Historic), RBe 2/4 1003 (Transportation Museum in Lucerne), and RBe 2/4 1007 as an historic unit on the Oensingen-Balsthal Railroad (OeBB).

Prototype: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) class RBe 2/4, "Roter Pfeil" / "Red Arrow", 2nd class, in the basic red paint scheme. Road number 607. The rail car looks as it did around 1957.

  • Prototype information

    The Red Arrows underwent several rebuilds during their active service life. New technical features were installed, and they were given new class designations several times; the first unit was retired and scrapped in 1966 as the class RBe 2/4. By 1974 there were 2 units left on the SBB's roster, of which one was sold to the ÖBB and was run for several more years in an unusual blue paint scheme. One powered rail car still exists today as an historic unit and harkens back to the time of the Red Arrows in the service of the Swiss Cross.
