The 1151 of ITB - Industrietransportgesellschaft mbH Brandenburg (92 82 0001 151-0 L-ITB) is running with a tank car train through Brandenburg an der Havel main station towards Berlin on September 20, 2018. The V 100.1 was built in 1983 by LEW (VEB Lokomotivbau Elektrotechnische Werke Hans Beimler , Hennigsdorf) under factory number 12524 and delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn as DR 110 242-5. In 1981, it was rebuilt to DR 112 242-3 at the Cottbus depot. On January 1, 1992, it was renumbered to DR 202 242-4 and on January 1, 1994, to DB 202 242-4. In May 2000, it was retired from DB and transferred to SFZ - Schienenfahrzeugzentrum in Stendal. In 2003, it went to NEG - Norddeutsche Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH in Trier as No. 03. In 2006, it went to CFL Cargo where it was designated as 1151 (92 82 0001 151-0 L-CFLCA). Finally, in June 2014, it went to ITB - Industrietransportgesellschaft mbH Brandenburg in Brandenburg an der Havel but remained registered and listed in Luxembourg.

A railway museum that invites you to linger. The three-part train of the Mat ’24 type of the Dutch Railway Museum consists of BD 9107, C 8553, and C 8104. Here in the foreground is the railcar NS BD 9107 (mBD). It was built in 1927 by Beijnes, officially Koninklijke Fabriek van Rijtuigen en Spoorwagens J.J. Beijnes (Royal Factory for Carriages and Railway Wagons J.J. Beijnes) in Haarlem, with electrical equipment from Metropolitan Vickers, and delivered to NS - Nederlandse Spoorwegen. It has 40 second-class seats as well as a luggage compartment. Its historical numbers were from 1927: BD 9007 / 1931: BD 9107 / 1946: CD 9107 / 1958: BD 5902 / 1966: 159016 / 1968: 9741937 / 1989 BD 9107.

Uncommon on the Sieg route, the ICE 2, Tz 222 Eberswalde, led by the power car 402 022-8, presumably running as an empty transfer train, passes through Scheuerfeld/Sieg towards Siegen on July 5, 2026. The ICE 2, the second generation of high-speed trains in Germany, was put into service in 1996. Unlike the ICE 1, the ICE 2 is limited to six intermediate cars, one control car, and one power car. A train consists of: • Power car of class 402 • First-class car Apmz of class 805.3 as car 27 or 37 • First-class car Apmz of class 805.0 as car 26 or 36 • Onboard restaurant WRmbsz of class 807.0 as car 25 or 35 • Second-class service car Bpmbz of class 806.0 as car 24 / 34 • Second-class car Bpmz of class 806.3 as car 23 or 33 • Second-class car Bpmz of class 806.6 as car 22 or 32 • Second-class control car Bpmzf of class 808.0 as car 21 / 31 This train concept allows coupling two trains into a double train. The ICE 2 follows the concept of double traction: This enables flexible deployment – as double traction on routes with high demand and with half the seating capacity on routes with lower passenger volumes. The operational concept of the ICE 2 also considers splitting both train parts to different travel destinations, thus providing more direct connections without transfers. For example, two ICE 2 trains cover the route from Berlin to Hamm/Westphalia as a double train and then split there into two separate train services towards Essen/Düsseldorf and Hagen/Wuppertal, respectively. Characteristic of the ICE 2 are the nose flaps on the power car and control car. They conceal the coupling to minimize air resistance during high-speed operation at up to 280 kilometers per hour. All ICE 2 trains underwent a comprehensive modernization starting in 2011, during which, among other things, the passenger information system was expanded to a total of six monitors per car and handrails were installed on the new seats. TECHNICAL DATA: Start of operation: 1996 Number of trains: 44 Track gauge: 1,435 mm (standard gauge) Axle arrangement (power car): Bo’Bo’ Length over couplers (power car): 20,560 mm Train length: 205.36 meters (power car, 6 intermediate cars, and control car) Bogie wheelbase: 3,000 mm (power car) / 2,500 mm (cars) Empty weight: 77.5 t (power car) and 412 t (7-car set incl. control car) Maximum speed: 280 km/h Continuous power output: 4,800 kW Starting tractive effort: 200 kN Wheel diameter: 920 mm (new) / 860 mm (worn) Power system: 15 kV 16.7 Hz Number of traction motors: 4 Drive: Cardan shaft Brake system: KE R+E Train protection system: Sifa, LZB 80/16 with PZB 90 Coupler type: Scharfenberg coupler Seating capacity: 368 (pre-redesign) / 381 (post-redesign), comprising 106 First Class and 275 Second Class seats Floor height: 1,226 mm above top of rail (TOR)

The 111 049-3 (91 80 6111 049-3 D-GfF) of GfF - Gesellschaft für Fahrzeugtechnik mbH (Crailsheim) is running on July 2, 2026, with an empty train consisting of two former InterRegio second-class coaches with multipurpose compartments (class Bimdz) through Kirchen/Sieg station towards Cologne. Once again, a warm greeting back to the friendly locomotive driver. The locomotive was built in 1975 by Henschel in Kassel under factory number 31895 and delivered to Deutsche Bundesbahn. In the yellow/white livery (as shown here), the locomotive operated in 1990 and 1991 as the Lufthansa Airport Express on the LHA route Stuttgart–Frankfurt Airport. I think this color scheme suits the locomotive very well.

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.
