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.

In double traction, the 152 074-1 (91 80 6152 074-1 D-DB) and the 152 005-5 (91 80 6152 005-5 D-DB) of DB Cargo Deutschland AG are running with a mixed freight train through Kirchen/Sieg on June 9, 2026. Actually, the total power output of 17,400 hp (12,800 kW) of the two locomotives is somewhat over-dimensioned here. 
