Remarks & Notes 
Three units (Re 6/6 and Re 4/4 II at the front plus an additional Re 4/4 II pushing at the rear) with a total power of 17200 kW make short work of this 1500 ton oil train, hauling it uphill at 80 km/h despite the 26 ‰ grade. They need to hurry, because the ICN tilting train following 8 minutes later is catching up and wants a clear track.
