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 111 074 hauls a replacement train into Hannover Hbf on 18 September 2026. As is the case in more German Länder, Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) sees her partof failing modern MUs, necessitating the deployment of older stock with lco haulage by TRI and WFL -much to the joy of German and foreign railway fans.

RB37 Krefeld<=>Neuss almost always sees some surprising loco haulage and on 24 Septemberb 2026 former DB Touristik loco 111 074 was on the roll call, seen here pushing the RB37 to Krefeld Hbf through Kaarst-broicherseite. This famous photo spot can be reached on legal pathing but car drivers should take care not to park their vehicle on places where that is forbidden. Having learned the hard way by some less-than-intelligent train spotters from the past, the localos are now quick to call the police when you park your car in the wrong place, resulting in a hefty fine.
