[DE] 'ES 64 F1-001' / Siemens EuroSprinter
 Thanks goes out to the people that reacted to our request for pictures of the black EuroSprinter with no id. The machine without service numbers, but generally referred to as 'ES64F1 001' can be seen in Munchen on this picture. The 3kV-only locomotive is the first representative of the VI configuration of the ES64F4-family and will be able to run in Italy and Poland.
 Most pictures we got showed the exact machine, but in its previous life, better known as E189 929.

[NL/BE] a new deadline for NS Hispeed and its Traxx locomotives... / Bombardier Traxx
 True, its risky, but we decided to give it another try... a new date is mentioned on which NS Hispeed will start commercial services with its Traxx locomotives between Amsterdam and Brussels over the classic route (via The Hague, Rotterdam, Dordrcht, Roosendaal and Antwerp). On 29. and 30.07.2008 trials will be held, and if everything works out fine, than on 01.08.2008 the first regular Benelux trains will be on their way with a Hispeed E186. The first picture shows Hispeed 186 120 with the defect SNCB 1192, the machine representing the type that the Traxx machines will have to replace in August. The Traxx machine transported the Belgian 'old-timer' from Amsterdam to Essen in Belgium. The second image shows all four Traxx machines that have the red Hispeed livery at this moment. The rakes used for the Benelux service have all been restyled now, matching the new Hispeed corporate identy. - HGBTF

Wanted! Pictures of the ES 64 F4-001! / website information
Sometimes it helps just to ask people... Can anyone help us with finding pictures of the Siemens 'ES 64 F1-001' test locomotive? The machine has travelled from Munich to Wegberg-Wildenrath and back during the last months. Maybe it has been on other places. The machine probably still does not carry service numbers, but its easy to recognize by the slogan it carries on both sides; Grenzelose Mobilitat! Next to that it is painted in the regular black MRCE-Dispolok colourscheme. Information or pictures can be send directly to railcolor@gmail.com, thanks!
