The prototype of the Roco 70337: The Re 485 of BLS Cargo

The Re 485 series belongs to the family of Traxx locomotives developed by Bombardier. In 2001, BLS Lötschbergbahn AG ordered ten of these powerful electric locomotives for international freight traffic. The Re 485 is technically based on the Re 482 series from SBB Cargo and the 185 series from DB Schenker, but was equipped with a special "Switzerland package" to meet the requirements of the Swiss rail network.

The locomotives were delivered between December 2002 and mid-2003 and replaced the older Ae 4/4 locomotives. Since then, the Re 485 locomotives have mainly been used for transit traffic between Germany and Switzerland, making a significant contribution to the efficiency and reliability of freight transportation.

The railroad company BLS Cargo: a strong partner in freight transport

BLS Cargo is a leading Swiss railroad company that specializes in transalpine freight transport. The company plays a key role in the transportation of goods through Switzerland and is known for its reliability and innovative strength. The electric locomotives of the Re 485 series are an essential part of the BLS fleet and help to meet the demanding requirements of international rail freight transport.
