Album Info:AEG and ABB-Henschel are the two major companies that lay the basis for all modern locomotive products produced by Bombardier. In the nineties they bundled their competences under the direction of Daimler and formed Adtranz. Later on Daimler sold Adtranz to Bombardier from Canada, giving it the current name. TRAXX is a modular product platform of electric and diesel-electric mainline locomotives built by Bombardier Transportation, built in both freight and passenger variants. The first version was a dual voltage AC locomotive built from 2000 for German railways. Later versions include DC versions, as well as quadruple voltage machines, able to operate on European electrification schemes as 1.5/3.0 kV DC and 15/25 kV AC. The TRAXX brand name itself was introduced in 2003. The acronym stands for Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme fleXibility. The actual TRAXX operation in Switzerland takes place almost exclusively on transit traffic between Basle and Chiasso (Gotthard route) and between Basle and Domodossola (Lötschberg – Simplon route). The main depots and locations, where you can find TRAXX units are Muttenz yard in Basle (and all companies mentioned in this report), Erstfeld with DB Schenker Rail BR 185 hub, Bellinzona with the take over point of SBB Re 484 and 482 depot, Chiasso with Re 484 depot as well as NordCargo E 483, Spiez with BLS 485/486 depot and Domodossola/Italy, as connection station to Italian operators. Other spots with small TRAXX traffic are the Lake Constance area in eastern Switzerland as well the container terminal at Niederglatt near Zurich, both destination served from Germany. For the source of this album have been used information on mentioned Companies and Rail Operators, Railcolor.net and Wikipedia sources.
