The BLS Ae 4/4 is here: • 2000-07 [SDw] BLS Ae 4...
In order to drive freight trains for the BLS two Ae 4/4 locos were being
coupled together permanently. In this way the step switches,
which controlled the speed, could be connected mechanically.
The “double loco” Ae 8/8 that was created in this way, has a
power of 8800 hp. During the summer of 2000 Ae 8/8 no
275 was launched in order to drive the ”Aushubzügen” of the
new “Lötschberg-Basistunnel” from Goppenstein to Raron. The
Ae 4/4 is launched in the transport of passengers between Spiez
and Zweisimmen.
The recordings were made in July 2000.

Very cool video!
Mooi gefilmd en gemonteerd. Een genot om naar te kijken. Bedankt!!!
Excellent video. Shows the reason why and where a train is needed. Just to be controversial, why have BLS Ae locomotives remained the classic milk chocolate colour? The Re 4/4's from the SBB where painted gray/blue/yellow-green, a brighter and possibly safer scheme.
Thank you for the beautiful video! This Ae 8/8 number 275 is stationed where I live, I see it very often. It is not being maintained, I want to try find out if it could be saved or what else will happen to it. Such a marvellous piece of machinery!
Is this one stationed at Frutigen?
Best regards, Remco
@@REOSRailway Yes, it is standing 770m north of the ticket office of Frutigen Railway Station, on a fenced BLS compound, on the western side of the main line Frutigen-Spiez. Most often, it is hard to see from the train because it is some meters elevated relative to the main line and usually behind freight or supply wagons on a parallel track between the main line and the Ae 8/8.
Und heute steht sie in Frutigen auf dem abstellgleis und rostet vor sich hin!😢
