Identity crisis? SWEG 463 026 or 126 stands idle at Offenburg on 18 May 2026.



UEF's 75 1118 stands at Villingen (Schwarzwald) after having taken fresh water on 16 May 2026. Bacause steam loco don't run anymore in standard traffic, moststations have discarded their steam locomotive maintenance equipment, likt water hoses, so nowadays, for fresh water on steam locos, the local fire brigade are drafted in. But when one considers the scenes those brave souls of the fire brigade sometimes have to confront (like being to late to save all the lives...) one can imagnine that replenishing a steam loco's water supply is a rather more joyful assignment.

Fireless steam locomotive Lok-1 of the erstwhile Zellstoffwerke Pirna catches the rain on 22 August 2026 at the SEF's depot at Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf. In areas where open fire was forbidden fireless steam locos like this one were used before the rise pof Diesel shunting engines. The workings are the same as of a normal steam loco, albeit that fuel and fire wre not exposed to the open air to reduce the risks of fire.

Arbeitsgemeinschaft Rübelandbahn 95 1027 lets off a bit of steam at CVhemnitz-Hilbersdorf on 21 August 2026. The kettle certificate of this loco was due to expire in November 2026 and there WERE no plans to restore the kettle, rendering this steam loco workless. After a massive public outcry and intervention of the Department of Tourism of Sachsen Land (Saxony), miraculously plans to yet restore the kettle are rumoured to have popped into existence.
