RheinCargo/HGK DE 670 passes solo through Köln Hbf on 30 December 2019.

(ID 58996)


RheinCargo/HGK DE 670 passes solo through Köln Hbf on 30 December 2019. Freights and light running locos are very rare at Köln Hbf due to the congestion with passenger trains.

On 2 September 2005 InfraLeuna 205 hauls a tank train to the massive Leuna chemical plant through Naumburg (Saale). A few years later, these Diesels were gone off the IL ranks, replaced by more modern traction.

All good things come to an end and sadly, the tradition of the train bonanza at Benesov u Prahy, that saw about 30-40 extra museum trains around the area, belongs to these. From 1 January 2027 ECTS will become mandatory on the Czech main line network, spelling the end for mostmuseum trains, since the costs of installingthe ECTS equipment are prohibitive. 
 On 21 September 2026 EBS 142 001 (the strongest version of the East-German Ludmillas Diesellocomotives) shunts Swiss stock, steam locomotive 241A65 and German steamer 41.1144 (both not visible on the photo as the are at that moment still inthe depot) and will haul the extra at 10;15 from Benesov u Prahy towards Weimar via Prague, Usti-nad-Labem and Dresden.
