BLS Cargo was the only Swiss company to order ten Traxx F140 MS2e locomotives in September 2007, with the delivery option of an additional ten locomotives. However, the option was never exercised. Although the new Rothrist – Mattstetten line and the Lötschberg base tunnel were completed and ETCS equipment was mandatory at the time of delivery, the Re 486s were still in operation without it. The retrofitting took place at a later date. The locomotives were registered in Switzerland, which is why they have designation Re 486 with locomotive numbers 486 501 to 510. The locomotives are designed for traffic over the Alps and are equipped for Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy. The 486 501 is the only locomotive in its class to bear the coat of arms with the town name Beura Cardezza. The new design with the alpinist above a crevasse was first seen on the 486 510 in spring of 2022, after which the remaining locomotives were also redesigned.
