NS 186 043 banks an IC-Direct out of Tilburg on 26 February 2025. The NS TRAXX locos are beginning to loose their blue and yellow paintings after having been sold to Akiem and having been leased back. Slowly the ICR%-coaches and the TRAXX aren being phased out. 

CD Cargo mercenary 186 376 stands on 2 March 2025 at Amersfoort. Since 2021 CD Cargo has gained some interesting workings in the Netherlands. Freights to/from Poland via the Czech republic are almost always hauled by Akiem-186s, but some trains, originating/ending in Czechia see much more interesting traction in the guise of CDC Vectrons Class 383. 

The akiem 64 F4 082 (91 80 189 982-2 D-AKIIEM) is waiting in Lausanne with a track-laying machine for its imminent onward journey toward Vevey. Since the DB 185 took over the "Novelis" trains, the already rare operations of the BR 189 in the Lausanne area have become very rare, making this aktiem 64 F4 082 (91 80 189 982-2 D-AKIIEM) an unusual motif.

Akiem 186 019 and a sister loco pass through Kaarst-Broicherseite on 24 April 2026. THese locos were bought from Bombardier by NS Reizigers in 2010, butr sold after eight years to Akiem in a sale-and-lease-back construction. With the demise of ICR coahces and the influx of modern EMUs, NSR found the TRAXX engines to be surplus and returned them to Akiem. 
