| Remarks & Notes |
| Adhesion test run on the Lötschberg mountain route on 2.7 % gradient with the brand-new Bombardier TRAXX F140 MS3 188 # 006, in view of a new acquisition of locomotives for BLS Cargo. In front of the train the Re 4/4 # 175 of BLS runs. The 188 # 006 transports the train of 12 cars loaded with ballast and weighing about 1000 tons at about walking speed under constant sand, after the train has started on the gradient before the Kander viaduct. The newest Bombardier multi-system locomotive for freight trains has 6 MW capacity and an even higher starting tractive effort than the previous models.
