Schön, dass auch Ae 8/8 275 auftaucht. Wie geht´s ihr denn in Frutigen?

[@potzdonner]

Thank you for the beautiful video! This Ae 8/8 number 275 is stationed where I live, I see it very often. It is not being maintained, I want to try find out if it could be saved or what else will happen to it. Such a marvellous piece of machinery!

Is this one stationed at Frutigen? Best regards, Remco

[@potzdonner]

​@@REOSRailway Yes, it is standing 770m north of the ticket office of Frutigen Railway Station, on a fenced BLS compound, on the western side of the main line Frutigen-Spiez. Most often, it is hard to see from the train because it is some meters elevated relative to the main line and usually behind freight or supply wagons on a parallel track between the main line and the Ae 8/8.

Excellent video. Shows the reason why and where a train is needed. Just to be controversial, why have BLS Ae locomotives remained the classic milk chocolate colour? The Re 4/4's from the SBB where painted gray/blue/yellow-green, a brighter and possibly safer scheme.

Und heute steht sie in Frutigen auf dem abstellgleis und rostet vor sich hin!😢
