We have just updated the Railpool AC2 list. The Railpool Traxx-fleet (94 units on order) is nearing completion, so slowly we can get a good overview of all versions, worksnumber and lessors of these machines. Including the two locomotives bought from Deutsche Leasing Hungaria (185 716-8 and 185 717-6) Railpool will own 47 Traxx Ac2 locomotives at the end of the year; 185 671 to 717.
Last week, 185 704, 705 (most likely Skandinaviska Jernbanor) and 714 (CargoNet) were delivered to Sweden. This year we still have to welcome unit 694-695, 698-703 and 715. There are three different subversions of the Railpool Traxx AC2, D/A/H, D/A/S/N and S/N. You see that a large part of the Railpool AC2 are configurated for services in Norway and Sweden, where most of them are in use at this moment; CargoNet, CargoLink, TXL and Peterson Rail are the heavy users. The locomotives that are used in and around Germany are in service of ITL, PCT and the EVB for example.
Nice to see it that the fleet now incorporates three different dolour version of the Railpool livery; yellow, blue and red. - Bombardier/various sources

Sad news for the Polish/German fans of locomotives with striking, special liveries; PKP Cargo Logistics replaces its EU43 series locomotives, that just got a new livery celebrating the upcoming EC football, with EU45 series units (ES64F4s from MRCE). Paint it black.
The main picture show ex-EU43 001 and 004 after having their vinyls removed. - MM

 Gudrun Geiblinger has completed her next project. The Fleischmann Neuheiten Katalog 2012 announces a 'BR 145 locomotive der Pressnitztalbahn GmbH' with a special livery celebrating '125 Jahre Fleischmann'. The design impressions on page 12 are a design study. They still can change, but the model will exactly resemble the final design on the real locomotive.
Railcolor: now lets see which of two blue PRESS locomotives (145 023 or 145 030) will get this livery.

French operator EuroPorte has two new locomotives in its fleet, hired from CBRail: the all white E 37516 and E37523. We have never seen these locomotives (outshopped in 2008-2009) in revenue service up until now. - AG
update: EuroPorte hires these locomotives since 01.11.2011. - KAR

The Arenaways livery on 484 901 is gone. This opportunity was taken to restyle the locomotive in the most recent and complete black MRCE livery, including the latest logo type. It will be more difficult than ever to tell the difference between a Bombardier and Siemens locomotive from a distance. - DM

We can now officially say that MRCE has yet again expanded its fleet with five stock locomotives from Siemens. This time five machines with a VH-configuration join the fleet; ES 64 F4-802 to 806. MRCE did not have this configuration type (DE-AT-PL) in its fleet anymore.
   The livery of the machines (well 802, 803, and 804) is slightly different compared to most other MRCE ES64F4s in black. The white area up front is different, most likely a result of the fact that these machines originally were delivered in white. It is easier to just keep the front white as it was, and add a red surface, than to paint it it black and then make it white again.
The pictures show 802, 803 and 804 on their way to Poland. The first lessor of these machines is PKP Cargo SA. The locomotives will replace the EU43s hired from Alpha Trains. - FG
[Update/edit] On 20.01.2011, locomotive 805 and 806 arrived at the paint shops in Berlin. - DSO

  On 20.12.2011, the first ES64U4 EuroSprinter for Compagnia Ferroviaria Italiana (CFI) arrived in Udine [IT]. The picture shows CFI E190 321 together with FUC E190.302 and InRail E190 311. on 24.01.2012, the CFI E190 322 is expected to arrive in Udine. - EC
The E190.321 were built in Munich. CFI wants to use them on the Terni-Civitavecchia-Terni relation. - LP
