On 17 July 2000 SBB 11103 calls at Olten with former Swiss-Express stock. Since both loco and coaches carry the 1970s Swiss-Express colours, this seems a leap back in time.

Side view on 11257 at Thun on a rainy 28 May 2019. The difference betwen the first batch of 55 locos Class Re 4/4"/420/421 and the main bulk is easily seen: the first batch have one pantograph (mostly diamond, but some have single arm ones) where the main bulk from 11156 have two single-arm pantographs. 
