Crossrail Electric locomotive Class 436 113

Crossrail was created as a brand name of Swiss railway company Regionalverkehr Mittelland AG (RM) for the operation of unaccompanied combined transport on the transalpine axis Italy – Switzerland – Germany via Simplon – Lötschberg. When the company became independent, it received from Regionalverkehr Mittelland (RM) five SBB type class 4/4 III locomotives used for freight traffic, which were procured from the predecessor company Emmental-Burgdorf-Thun-Bahn (EBT). The locomotives had licence for operation in Switzerland and were later retrofitted with ETCS over the years, which is necessary for running freight trains through the Lötschberg Base Tunnel and Gotthard Base Tunnel
