TRI operates many replacement trains in Germany with loco hauled stock when the newly ordered EMUs/BEMUs/DEMUs are -again-  malfunctioning. On 20 August 2026 ex-DB 111 130 pushes an RB to Bottrop Hbf out of Oberhausen Hbf. Class 111 entered service with DB in 1974 and are now being disposed of -and speedily bought and reliveried by private operators like TRI and Smart rail.

WFL operates many replacement trains in Germany with loco hauled stock when the newly ordered EMUs/BEMUs/DEMUs are -again-  malfunctioning. The 1960s seem to have returned at Krefeld-Oppum on 20 August 2026 with TRI 110 448 calling there with the famous RB37 to Krefeld Hbf. Mo-Fr this service always exists of N-Wagen (dating from the 1960s), but traction is mostly ex-DB Classes 145 or 111 so to find 110 448 on this service is a rare joy indeed.

DB Cargo (still, after having sold 15+ locos to Railpool) 193 321 runs through Maastricht toward Sittard in a training ride. This loco probably came from Kinkempois shunting yard near Liége in Belgium.

Reason to party -not only because the Hornberg viaduct -animportant piece of infrastructure on the Black Forest Line- is more than 100 years old, but also because  at a time, DMUs/EMUs/BEMUs/BMUs/DEMUs and other new train sets take over passenger traffic apace, it is nice to see hourly loco haulage on the RE2 Karlhsruhe<=>Konstanz onthe schwarzwald Line -and with many an advertising loco at that! Like 146 238 pushing out an RE2 service out off Villingen (Schwarzwald).

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.

RXP 9904 stands with some RADVE coupling wagons used for transport moves of new EMUs at Amersfoort on 1 August 2026. Netherlands State Railways NS bought French in 1981 with an order for 58 nez-cassées (Broken Noses) to become Class 1601-1658. Whem the NS loco fleet was sectorised in 1999/2000,NS Cargo (later RaiLioN,then DB Schenker RN,then again DB Cargo) received the first batch of the class 1601-1622, that remained their numbers. NS reizigers,responsible for the passenger traffic,received 1623-1658 and renumbered them into the 1800-series, since Class 1700 already was their and to seperate the identity of their own locos with/against those of NS Cargo. After NS and later DBSRN/DB Cargo NL discarded their 1600s/1800s, private operators were quick to pick up a few locos,somethimes retainingthe 1600/1800 numbers, but sometimes giving them new numbers (RRF 4401 and 4402 and LOCON Benelux 9901-9910).
 This engine started life as NS 1618 until decommmissioned, after which Railogix bought the machine, giving her this SNCF Multiservice inspired livery. In 2020 Railogix stopped her operations and stored the loco at Amersfoort. One year later LOCON Benelux went bankrupt and their Class 9900s went everywhere, mostof them becoming assets of RFO. But not this 9904, since LOCON's own 9904 was another machine,reverting to her number 1831 after havingbeen bought by RFO. So Classes 1600 and 1800 are identical, but the one 9904 is not the other... because RXP bought LOCON's  9901,theydecided to number subsequent locos of this Class into their 9900s. Complicated? Absolutely not, just nigh impossoble to follow...
