About BLS Re 4/4 locomotives:

The Re 4/4 locomotives of BLS were developed as a modern successor to the earlier Ae 4/4 class. Unlike SBB designs, they used silicon rectifier technology and AC motors, representing a step forward in electric traction technology.

These locomotives were used in both passenger and freight services across the BLS network and connecting lines, becoming an important part of Swiss railway operations.
