The Re 460 (popularly known as the Lok 2000) series are modern four-axle electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways. They originally replaced Re 420, Re 440, Re 620 locomotives. They are now mainly used for passenger services, often in conjunction with the IC 2000 double decker trainset, their freight role having been assumed by Re 482s. They are maintained at Yverdon.
The Sr2 locomotives of VR (Finnish Railways) are closely based on the Re 460, as is the NSB El 18 class used by Norges Statsbaner of Norway.
It is also bought by Kowloon-Canton Railway for its service between Kowloon (Hong Kong) and Guangzhou. The train is named Ktt.
