The Re 6/6 of the Swiss state railroads SBB is still today with its power of 7900 kW the strongest locomotive in the world (and Switzerland). It has 6 axels in the somewhat rare BoŽBoŽBoŽ order. The first 4 prototypes built in 1972 had an articulated joint for improved bending in tight curves, but this was omitted as unnecessary in the series of 1975 (shown).
