The prototype: RBe 4/4 NPZ of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB)

The RBe 4/4 is an electric railcar of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) that was in service from the 1960s. In the 1980s, many of these railcars were modernized as part of the "New Commuter Train" (NPZ) programme. This modernization included a new colour scheme and technical improvements to meet the increasing demands of commuter traffic. The combination of RBe 4/4 railcars and driving trailers enabled flexible deployment options on regional services.

The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) in Era IV

Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of change and modernization in the European railroad system. During this time, numerous SBB vehicles were modernized and new colour schemes were introduced. The NPZ design with its striking colour scheme is a typical example of these modernization measures and still characterizes the image of Swiss regional transport today.
