Rebellion! On 28 July 1999 DB 111 175
(ID 50123)
On 1 June 2012 DB Regio 111 127 pushes a regional train to Mainz Hbf out of Bingen (Rheinland).
DB Regio 111 179 enters Treuchtlingen on 18 September 2015.



Rebellion! On 28 July 1999 DB 111 175 stands at Frankfurt (Main) Hbf. The loco used to be an S-Bahnliveried engine (light grey with an orange waist band). Soon after DB made the decision to speed up the repaints of her locos in the traffic red -althopugh many a loco had existing panit jobs that could last for years more to come- and the closure of Opladen works, the idea of waisting means and monies to -from a maintenance point of view- perfectly unnecessary repaints, gave some DB works crews some chagrin. FFM-1 decided to interpret the traffic red repaints as replace the orange waist band and left the 111 175 grey albiet with a traffic red waist band. Sadly only a few years later, this loco was painted in the now corporate traffic red colours.

TRI operates many replacement trains in Germany with loco hauled stock when the newly ordered EMUs/BEMUs/DEMUs are -again- malfunctioning. On 20 August 2026 ex-DB 111 130 pushes an RB to Bottrop Hbf out of Oberhausen Hbf. Class 111 entered service with DB in 1974 and are now being disposed of -and speedily bought and reliveried by private operators like TRI and Smart rail.

The 111 049-3 (91 80 6111 049-3 D-GfF) of GfF - Gesellschaft für Fahrzeugtechnik mbH (Crailsheim) is running on July 2, 2026, with an empty train consisting of two former InterRegio second-class coaches with multipurpose compartments (class Bimdz) through Kirchen/Sieg station towards Cologne. Once again, a warm greeting back to the friendly locomotive driver. The locomotive was built in 1975 by Henschel in Kassel under factory number 31895 and delivered to Deutsche Bundesbahn. In the yellow/white livery (as shown here), the locomotive operated in 1990 and 1991 as the Lufthansa Airport Express on the LHA route Stuttgart–Frankfurt Airport. I think this color scheme suits the locomotive very well.
