Februar 2026
February 2026 is characterized by a strong focus on classic and transitional motive power in northern Germany, with multiple images documenting the final months of DB Class 218 diesel operations on the Westerland (Sylt) route and the associated loco swaps at Itzehoe. The presence of Class 245 and 218 locomotives in Niebüll, alongside the upcoming introduction of Class 248.5 electro-diesels, highlights the changing traction landscape. Dutch Rail Force One Vectrons, notably 193 627, appear repeatedly, emphasizing their international leasing activity and operation for RegioJet in the Czech Republic. Several photos revisit former NS EMUs and TRAXX Class 186 in the Netherlands, reflecting on their withdrawal and preservation. Weather conditions range from frosty or snowy scenes in Hamburg-Harburg and Osnabrück to low winter sunlight in various Dutch locations. The expansion of SBB RABe 512 and 522 units into Annemasse, France, marks cross-border service developments. Danish and Swedish locations like Kolding, Odense, and Malmö also feature, with a mix of freight and passenger traffic, including battery and regional trains. The month's motifs are shaped by transitions in rolling stock, international locomotive leasing, and the continued modernization of signaling and infrastructure. EU label: AI-generated content

WFL strikes again: WFL has some interesting workings on German tregional passenger traffic. On 13 February 2026 WFL 112 024 deputises for a non-available EMU and enters Osnabrück Obf. The hourly RE's between Osnabrück and Bremen Hbf are operated by two ex-DR Class 112/114s and some ex-DB Class 145s, some carrying most interesting liveries.

Rail Experts 9901 -ex-LOCON 9901- hauls a hisatoric EMUs, flanked by two box wagons, through Wijchen toward Maastricht for maintenance on the EMU and passes through Wijchen on 10 NOvember 2019. During LOCON days, eight former NS Class 1600/1800 carried this nice livery and after LOCON-Benelux' downfall some electrics that were bought by RXP and RFO continued to carry this livery. But in 2026, RXP 9901 is the only locomotive remaining with this livery.

Completely gone from Dutch tracks are the once ubiquitious TRAXX Class 186.0 and the ICR coaches. On 26 May 2017 NS 186 018 hauls such a rake through Tilburg Oude Warande. In 2018 NS used a sale-and-lease-back construction with Akiem to cut costs on the locos and from December 2025 all NS Class 186 were returned to Akiem, who lost no time in removing the yellow and blue.

The 12 km long Coleraine - Portrush branch line is usually served by older Class 450 diesel railcars. They run hourly and provide good connections in Coleraine to the Belfast - Derry and Derry - Belfast trains, which cross in Coleraine every two hours. At the terminus in Portrush, the NIR diesel railcar train 8457 ‘Carrickfergues Castle’ with railcar 454, centre car 794 and control car 784 waits for the return journey to Coleraine. 19 September 2007

The days of manually operated signaling are numbered in Niebüll and the era of Class 218 also draws to a close. From Summer 2026 almost all CLass 218 will have been replaced and the old signalling given way to more modern signalling. On 16 February 2026 DB 218 470 hauls an RE to Westerland (Sylt) out of Niebüll and passes the old signal mast.
