The Re 4/4 II 11110, built for the SBB in 1966, was sold to the BLS along with five other machines at the end of 2004. The Re 420 501 was not only the first silver BoBo, it was also the only one that initially ran with the SBB number, but already with the BLS logo. The locomotive could be used by the BLS for both passenger and freight transport. The ban on cargo use only applied to numbers 507-512. The 501 is also the last Re 420 to leave the BLS and go to the Extrazug.ch association. There it will be green again in the future.
