* Closed skirt is attached to the package
The Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon-Bahn (BLS) ordered from the Swiss companies SLM Winterthur and ABB Zurich under the serial number 465 an advanced mixed-traffic locomotive based on the construction of the SBB Re 460. Compared to the Re 460, the locomotives do not have just one inverter per bogie, but also one inverter per axle. This allows the traction power to be optimally put on the line. The BLS uses the 18 locomotives mainly in the freight traffic, but also in front of commuter trains together with EW III and EW IV wagons.
