Advertising
Due in part to their large, mainly flat bodysides, Swiss Federal Railways were approached early on with requests for the Re 460 to be used as mobile
advertising hoardings. Despite opposition from some quarters, the money that could be earned swayed the decision, and the first such locomotive, Re 460 015 was unveiled in 1994 in
Agfa livery. Today no other loco type in Switzerland carries so many different liveries.

Almost all Re 460 locomotives are named, with the names being applied below the cab window at one end.
