WFL 243 019 (ex DB regio 143 019 painted in former GDR S-Bahn Leipzig style) calls at Hannover Hbf on 16 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.

MEG (Mitteldeutsche Eisenbahn Gesellschaft) is a daughter company of DEB Cargo and has former DB traction in freight services. Deployment of MEG in revenue earning scheduled passenger operation is quite rare, but on 29 April 2011 MEG 602 calls at Berlin Schönefeld Flughafen (the old station) with double deck stock destrined for Berlin Ostbahnhof.

On 24 May 2004 DB Regio 143 103 calls at Elmshorn with a stopping train to Itzehoe. As with almost all regional trains, loco haulage has been replaced by EMUs, DMUs and BEMUs.
