IC 2000

IC 2000 refers to a type of double-deck electric multiple unit train operated by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS). These trains are primarily used for InterCity services within Switzerland.

The IC 2000 trainsets consist of a Re 460 locomotive and a series of double-deck passenger cars. The cars offer both first and second-class seating and feature modern amenities such as air conditioning, power outlets, and information displays. They are designed for long-distance travel, providing comfortable and efficient transportation across the Swiss rail network.

The IC 2000 fleet is a crucial component of SBB's InterCity service, connecting major cities and towns throughout the country. They offer a high-capacity solution for handling passenger demand on popular routes, contributing to the overall efficiency and reliability of the Swiss railway system. The Re 460 locomotive, often referred to as a "Lok 2000," provides the necessary power for these trains and is a common sight on Swiss railways. The combination of the Re 460 and the double-deck coaches allows for a large passenger capacity without significantly increasing train length.
