Roco H0 Ro electric locomotive 485 012-9, Bls Cargo (Dcc)

In 2001, BLS Lötschbergbahn AG decided to order ten Traxx locomotives for cross-border freight transport. The BLS Cargo locomotives, designated Re 485 in Switzerland, are technically identical to the Re 482 series from SBB Cargo and the 185 series from DB Cargo, with an additional Swiss package. With deliveries taking place between December 2002 and mid-2003, the remaining Ae 4/4 locomotives were retired. The new machines are primarily used for transit freight trains to and from Germany.
