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.
