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

Second of five: NS 1732 quits 's-Hertogenbosch with the 2nd of five overnight trains from Tyrol on 4 March 2012. In order to replace Classes 1100, 1200 and 1300 in one blow/ fell swoop (thanks to Shakespeare's  MacBeth) NS ordered French again with a slightly modernised and somewhat lighter nez-cassé like Class 1600. The 81 locos ordered became Class 1700 and from 1994 were almost exclusively deployed om passenger services, from the humble urban trains to international crack passenger trains.

On 15 May 2017 RRF 4402 quits Nijmegen with a tank train bound for Bad Bentheim. After the demise of Class 1600/1800 with the Netherlands State railways, private operators were quick to buy some examples, like RRF, who still operate two engines (4401 and 4402, formerly from HUSA).

RFO 1831 stands in Oss on 11 February 2026 with a celebration livery for the 75th anniversary of the Dutch railway fan club NVBS (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Belangstellenden in Spor-  en tramwezen). This loco will hold this livery for at least one year, entered service with NS in 1984 as 1631, became 1831 upon the loco fleet sectorisation in 2000 (1600 remaining the NS Passenger division's  locos with those going to NS Cargo/Railion became Class 1826-1858) and remained 1831 upon transfer to RFO, after a breif spell as 9904 with LOCON Benelux. On 15 December 2025 this livery was revealed by the NVBS and RFO and the loco was renumbered 1931 (the year when the NVBS was founded) for one day on 3 January 2026 on an extra trip to kick off the 75th anniversary of the NVBS, before reverting to number 1831.
