SWISS RAILWAYS BO-BO-BO OF 8,000 KW WITH CONVENTIONAL COIL-SPRING SECONDARY-SUSPENSION

Swiss Federal Railways selects a simple design for series production following comprehensive evaluation-trials in service with four prototypes; two with jointed-underframes and two with full-length single-piece bodies, one incorporating air secondary-suspension. Principal duties embrace heavy freight and passenger services over the severely-graded and curbed Gotthard line.
