Rail Pictures, Railway Photos, Trains from Februar 2026

202 Photos
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

On 5 April 2019 RailPromo 101001 (ex NS 1781) hauls two G2000s of IRP through ALverna. In 2021 RailPromo went bankrupt after which Dinner Train B.V. entered the fray of RP's  core business of dinner train haulage in the Netherlands. COVID and even more the smallness of that niche took out Dinner Train B.V. in 2024 amidst much scnadal of non-paid salaries and customers' money 'disappearing' without refund after they bought a trip on the train that never was given.

Koploper 4246 stands sidelined at Oss on 17 April 2021. Once a common and very characteristic sight on Dutch tracks, the Koplopers Classes 4000 (three coach) and 4200 (four coach)  are sadly rapidly declining.

CBB 110 278 takes over an extra train at Venlo on 7 February 2026. Because the platforms on tracks 1 and thre were occupied AND due to the partying public, it was decided at Venlo to swap locos on the fre track 2 that has no platforms. Here, the oldie has just put herself in front of the train and will lower her frontal pantograph to allow for electric connections betwen loco0 and coaches to be made.
