Product description

In order to haul heavy freight trains, the BLS put the Ae 8/8 into service. They developed an hourly output of 8,800 PS, the equivalent of two Ae 4/4 locomotives. Although these locomotives were mainly used to haul heavy transit freight trains, they could also be seen pulling passenger trains.
