Historic TEE multiple unit in Valais
Historic TEE multiple unit in Valais

From 1957 to 1987, cross-border trains of high-quality operated in Europe under the name Trans-Europ-Express and connected the most important cities with each other. The network stretched from Spain to Denmark and from Holland to Austria. There was no standard vehicle, and each country endeavored to develop and use interoperable cross-border vehicles. The trains, most of which were locomotive-hauled, had to be reserved and only had first-class seats.

In addition to the German, French and Italian wagons, the majority of trains in Switzerland were Swiss-made multiple units. For example, RAm TEE type diesel multiple units were used on non-electrified lines to Amsterdam, Paris and Munich and RAe TEE II on the electrified lines to Milan and Paris. Only 5 of each type were built.

The RAe TEE shown here is the last survivor of this era in Switzerland. The RAe TEE II was reconditioned by SBB Historic and is now occasionally used for special trips throughout Switzerland.
