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