Talented? S-Bahn S-2 calls at Nürnberg Hbf on 2 May 2011 with 185 619 leading -courtesey of the massive delays of Class 442 entering revenue earning service and DB Regio had to fill in the gaps. Ten years after, it was again a Talent EMU design that caused trouble. In 2020 Bombardier put herself to a sad end after horrendous failures of the Talent-3 design, that lead the aircraft builder to sell off the train buidling component. And Alstom, of which many believed to be in the ropes, ended up as the winner when they took over the Bombardier train builder component.

The 185 028-8 (91 80 6185 028-8 D-DB) of DB Cargo AG, also approved for France, is running with a coil train through Kirchen/Sieg towards Siegen on June 9, 2026, presumably heading to Kreuztal. It is interesting that both pantographs for 15 kV, 16.7 Hz AC are raised on the contact wire.

The TRAXX F140 AC1 was built in 2001 by ADtranz (ABB Daimler-Benz Transportation GmbH) in Kassel under factory number 33427. It is approved for Germany and France. Thus, it is designed as a dual-system locomotive with the electrical systems 15 kV, 16.7 Hz AC and 25 kV, 50 Hz AC.
