LT_E164+SBB_Re460_036-7_Bollement.jpg (144063 bytes)

Over twenty years ago SBB was asked to name a locomotive « Franches-Montagnes ». In relation with the 100th horse market in Saignelégier SBB decided to name Re 460 036-7 « Franches-Montagnes » on the 8th of august 2003 in this narrow gauge station of Chemins de fer du Jura. It is 25 kilometres away from the next standard gauge station. On the 7th of august the locomotive arrived in Glovelier and was charged on two trucks and pulled by steam traction to Saignelégier. Between Combe-Tabeillon and Bollement there are eight tunnels, which have a reduced height of contact wire. For security the SBB-locomotive was pulled by steam traction. At no time the loco was in contact with the overhead wire. After the naming ceremony the locomotive was exhibited in Saignelégier station till Monday and then brought back to Glovelier by an electric engine. It is the first time that a locomotive of the type Re 460 stays on a metric gauge station. Other transports of this kind have been done by road for special events, but never by rail. The steam locomotive E 164 was delivered in 1905 by Henschel in Cassel to Portugal. Today this factory is absorbed by the Bombardier group. In 1993 the steam engine was brought back to Switzerland in 1993 by La Traction. It entered service in 1999 after a general overhaul in Meiningen on the metric network of Chemins de fer du Jura. The SBB Re 460 036-7 was built by SLM and ABB in Winterthur and Zurich and delivered in 1993. Both works haven been taken over by the Bombardier group. Today there are no more factories, but engineering sites. It is one of the few locomotives which have not been named till today and which spot no advertising livery.
