Remarks & Notes |
Long and heavy 10 car "IC2000" double deck train, reinforced with 3 standard cars type IV, on the 2.7 % grade of the Letzigraben bridge between Zürich main station and Zürich Altstetten. Such heavy trains like the IC 712 from St.Gallen to Geneva Airport have now two Re 460 locomotives top and tail, running in multiple. The grade from the new underground through tracks 31-34 in Zürich towards Altstetten is up to 4.0 %! |
