Very soon, the service of the Re 420 in passenger traffic will be mostly over. Of course, the modernized Re 420 HVZ will stay and probably a few of the classic Re 420 for occasional tasks. Their usage has steadily reduced over the past few years and will soon come to an end. Right in the beginning of the video, you can see one reason why: The delivery of new trains slowly pushes the older ones out of service. Let's take this opportunity to ride the Re 420 one last time, at least in passenger traffic.

Welcome aboard the InterCity 4 service in Singen am Hohentwiel, Germany! We've never driven this direction before and it is a beautiful day, I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did when filming it. After we depart Germany, we will ride non-stop to Schaffhausen, one of the northernmost cities in Switzerland. Followed by a beautiful journey along the famous Rhine Falls, we will again enter Germany shortly, passing Jestetten and Lottstetten, before we are back in Switzerland. A non-stop ride to Zurich Main station lies ahead of us, where we stop the train and push the locomotive against the carriages. It will then be uncoupled by a colleague. Railway operations as it used to be for more than a hundred years comes to an end with modern trains. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
