This is a widescreen version upscaled from 4:3 SD to 16:9 HD of a part of the original REOS DVD 018, that has already been released on YT.
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.
