The Swiss Express train category of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) was introduced on 22 May 1975 together with the opening of the Heitersberg Line and existed until 1982. The category replaced the former city express trains. The Swiss Express was the flagship train of the SBB, it served the most important transport axis of the SBB, the Geneva–Lausanne–Bern–Zurich–St. Gallen (–Rorschach) line.
The fixed train compositions consisted of 14 air-conditioned Einheitswagen III. A special feature of the Swiss Express was that the trains were not only assembled in the same way every time, but also that the vehicles were always arranged in the same direction.
The compositions were covered with the eight prepared for this purpose. Re 4/4IIthat have only one pantograph. Among these were also two of the six prototypes, 11103 and 11106, and six other locomotives from the following construction number (11108, 11109, 11112, 11113, 11133, 11141). In order to prevent the pantographs of the two locomotives from being too close to each other in the event of any double traction (which was rare in practice), the locomotives were always turned off so that the pantograph was on the Zurich side. Since the first-class cars also always ran on the Zurich side, the following composition results:
In the direction of Travel Zurich: Lok Re 4/4" – AD – 5 A – WR – 7 B. The cars bore the numbers 1 to 14, in the direction of Geneva or St. Gallen accordingly vice versa. The orientation of the dining car (the pantograph always pointed to Zurich) had been chosen in such a way that first-class passengers did not have to cross the narrow side aisle next to the kitchen on their way to the dining room. Five compositions were needed for the timetable operation, the sixth composition and some additional cars served as a reserve. During high operation, the following B-car was equipped with tables and operated as a WR compartment.
