2000-07 [SDw] BLS Ae 4/4 in the summer of 2000 - Super sound & close up in Spiez & Zweisimmen

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 Bern-Lötschbergbahn-Simplon railways played a special part in the development of the electric locomotive since it’s opening in 1913. Every locomotive of the BLS that was ordered and built was very modern and used the latest technology. The Ae 4/4 that has been built in 1944 was no exception on that fact. It is the first loco in which the engine drives the wheels directly with high power without any shifts in-between. The loco is a complete Swiss design and has a self-supporting loco compart- ment and an innovative electricity transformer. It is the forerunner of almost all alternating current Bo Bo locos after the World War II. The Ae 4/4 is launched in the transport of passengers between Spiez and Zweisimmen and has been filmed in July 2000. Please comment, like, share and subscribe for more video's that will follow!
