After the Ae 4/4 locomotives of the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon Railway, which had been in service since 1944, had proven themselves over more than two decades, additional aging mainline locomotives were due for replacement by the early 1960s. While the SBB pursued the procurement of Re 4/4 II locomotives featuring conventional direct control and single-phase AC motors, BLS opted for a more modern approach with silicon rectifiers and shaft current motors. These new locomotives, initially designated Ae 4/4 II and later reclassified as Re 4/4 following technical upgrades, were built by SLM and BBC. They were deployed in both passenger and freight service across the networks of BLS, GBS, SEZ, and BN, as well as on adjoining SBB lines.
