On a gorgeous autumn day, BLS Cargo 485 class electric (basically the same as the DB 185 class locos pictured elsewhere in this gallery) No. 485 005-3 hauls a short freight into Spiez, Switzerland, on October 20th, 2006. Spiez is a major station on the Lötschberg route through the Alps and is the location where loco changes are made. In this case, a further 485 class locomotive will be placed on the front of this train to help it manage the stiff grades.
