In August 2005, Cisalpino, a joint venture between SBB and Trenitalia, leased Class Re 484 locomotives. These were used for cross-border EuroCity traffic between Bern, Geneva and Milan. The elimination of the need to change locomotives at the border shortened the transition and overall travel time.
The locomotives had a striking look in silver, red and light blue. This was the first time that Re 484 locomotives ran on schedule in front of passenger trains. Due to the delay in the delivery of new multiple units, the six locomotives remained in Cisalpino service until the end of 2007.
