On 19.05.2012, there was a parade of Euro2012 locomotives in Warsaw. Seven machines were present at the new Warszawa Stadion station, next to the new national stadium (Stadionu Narodowego). rynek-kolejowy.pl has covered the happening with pictures and videos.
PKP Cargo Logistics has decided that their ES 64 F4 locomotives get the current blue and lime Cargo livery. We are glad they did. ES 64 F4-805 (main picture) and ES 64 F4-205 (now a 'tweety in disguise') are the first units that have been restyled. - SL
With the 205, PKP Cargo Logistics has one locomotive homologated for services in the Netherlands. It made its debute in this country yesterday, in its fresh new look. The locomotive went to Rotterdam, a service in cooperation with ERS Railways. - FG/MvE
Meanwhile, Lokomotion wants its Eu43 locomotives homologated for Austria. Images of various trials have been published, we have one of EU43-006 with EU 43-005 and 185 665 at St.Jodok. - TG
It has been a while since we have seen a new Traxx locomotive coming from Kassel. The images show Railpool 186 291 picking up 139 555 from the factory outskirts, and taking it to Kassel Rangierbahnhof. 291 then went back to factory. 139 555 was taken away by 186 283. - CK
Yesterday, Vectron AC 193 921 arrived in Aachen, taken their by 482 041 in service of the Rurtalbahn. The locomotive is parked near the main station for instructional purposes. Update: nice image of 921 added. - PF
When the time is there, for sure Siemens will make an official announcement, but this item in RPonline already mentions it: on the 1st of July there will be an open door day at the Siemens' test and validation center in Wegberg-Wildenrath (DE).
A portrait of SBB Cargo 923 001-2, just because it is nice and it is the first image of such a locomotive in revenue servie on our site. Together with the SBB 922 series, these machines are now the real benjamins of our project. - AH
The project has started. Locomotive ES 64 U2-067 is seen in Linz with special Trainguard vinyls (see drawing).
Before the end of 2012, Siemens will equips thirty ES64U2 locomotives of the leasing company Mitsui Rail Capital Europe B.V. (MRCE) with the ATP/ATC system Trainguard 200 (ETCS level 2). The vehicles are to be operated on the Brenner line between Innsbruck and Bozen. - MRCE
Railcolor: ETCS will be obligatory for this section. MRCE needs its 'Bosporus' Sprinters therefore equipped with ETCS, so they will stay fully homologated for Austria.
Three images of MRCE 484 901 in service of Trasporto Passeggeri Emlia Romagna . Since 01.02.2012, TPER is the new name for the transport company formed after the merger of the transport activities of ACT and FER.
The 484 901 is subhired from ISC (Interporto Servizi Cargo) and used for an intermodal train for marble powder transport from Minicciano, Tuscany, to Reggio Emilia. The transport then continues to Dinazzano using the diesel locomotive. - LF / MS / FF
