DB Regio 146 231 might use a wash-up, since her identity was only possible due to the advertisement for Radolfzell, and is seen stabled at Offenburg on 28 December 2024.

NS 2525 is about to call at Tilburg-Reeshof on 10 January 2025.

The SBB Re 4/4 II 11263 (Re 420 263-6), which is equipped with a Scharfenberg type automatic coupling, is waiting in Lausanne with a freight train that also has automatic couplings for the onward journey to St-Triphon. Actually, the buffers would no longer be necessary with the automatic coupling (the wagons, for example, no longer have any), but the automatic coupling of the Re 420 can be turned away if necessary and the locomotive can run with the usual coupling.
