Comment: Railroad fans in Germany and Europe have viewed the Prussian P8 for almost 100 years as one of the most beautiful steam locomotives ever built. Over 3,800 units were built from 1906 to 1928, for the Royal Prussian Railroad Administration (KPEV), for other provincial railroads, for foreign railroads, and even for the German State Railroad (DRG). Over 300 locomotives were still in service after 1945 in Germany. The last ones worked well into the Seventies in regional service. Around 20 locomotives have survived up to the present in operational condition almost everywhere in Europe.

Comment: The RTS Class 221 The V 200.0 from the DB's first type program for diesel locomotives was the breakthrough in Germany for a large diesel locomotive for heavy road service. With its 2,200 horsepower it decisively lefts its mark on the look of the DB in the Fifties. Eighty-six units of it were placed into service. Growing traffic with greater trainloads demanded a lot of the V 200.0 chiefly on routes with lots of grades. Krauss-Maffei was therefore given the contract in 1960 to develop a more powerful motorized variant. The "new" class V 200.1 was equipped with two engine layouts, each at 1,350 horsepower. The increase in weight from the more powerful engine layouts was offset by a lighter weight steam heat boiler as well as from the use of lightweight materials for the fuel and sand tanks. Externally there were slight changes in the arrangement of vents and windows as well as the ends. Like the V 200.0, it had two end cabs insulated against noise. The two engine layouts with their fluid transmissions and cooling equipment formed two groups independent of each other. Each powered only one truck so that the locomotive was still operational in the event one system failed. The frame, superstructure, and trucks were for the most part a welded design again with lightweight steel construction. Required in heavy freight service in the end, the V 200.1 (from 1968 on: 221) were used until 1988. Many of the 221 units did not migrate to the scrap heap after being put into storage. Five units in Albania and 20 units in Greece were still useful for several years. All of the 221 units sold to Greece were acquired in May of 2002 by the Prignitz Railroad, Inc. (PEG) and brought back to Germany. Ten of these units were in some cases very run down, and they were thoroughly overhauled, mostly re-motored, and with one exception were sold to private firms (221 105, 106, 117, 121, 122, 124, 134, 136, 145, and 147). Former road numbers 221 105 and 134 are now in use with Rail Transport Service Gmbh (RTS) and can be seen rumbling with their new MTU type 12V 4000 R41 motors usually on the point of construction trains of all types.

Comment: The Diesel Locomotive Classes 215/225 From the mid-Sixties on the progressive retirement of steam locomotives led to an increasing demand for powerful diesel locomotives. The latter had to be able to run at higher speeds as well as enable the transfer to electric train heating. MAN had just developed a more powerful motor with 2,500 horsepower but it had still not tested enough. There was also still not enough experience with electric train heating on diesel locomotives. The class V 168 (from 1968 on: 215) was conceived as an intermediate solution to cover the urgent need for locomotives. This was version of the V 168 lengthened by around 400 mm / 16 inches, which was then supposed to allow the optional installation of different powerful motors. Steam heat with Vapor-Heating design heating boilers were retained for the time being, but it had to be possible to convert the locomotives to electric heating. In 1968, Krupp delivered ten pre-production units with the road numbers 215 001-010. They served as test beds for the new 2,500 horsepower motor from MAN. With the installation of hydrodynamic brakes the maximum speed on road number 215 005-010 was increased to 140 km/h / 87.5 mph. One-hundred-forty regular production units of the class 215 followed between 1969 and 1971. With the exception of road number 215 071-093 and the last 20 units, all of the locomotives were equipped with the reliable 1,900 horsepower motor. The exceptions had an improved 2,500 horsepower motor installed in them. Ulm was a significant base for the class 215 right from the start. In 1973, this Upper Swabian railroad junction was home base for 62 of the 150 units. The 2,500 horsepower locomotives with high numbers found a new home from 1988 on in Oberhausen-Osterfeld, where they had to replace the two-motor 221 units in heavy freight service. From 2001 on the class 215 was really in for it. Sixty-seven units were sold to DB Cargo by the middle of 2003 and they were designated as the class 225. As a rule, the steam heating equipment was no longer needed and was replaced by heat retention devices. Yet the release of more powerful class 218 units made the existence of the class 215 even more difficult and the latter class disappeared more and more from the rails. By the end of 2015, the last units will have been withdrawn from service. The last regular service for the class 215 ended with DB Regio Hessen in April of 2003. Unscheduled use still took place for a couple of months after that with DB Regio Rheinland, and then they were gone. In June of 2003, DB Autozug (Auto Train) bought 16 class 215 locomotives from DB Regio, among them the last operational units. Fourteen units were rebuilt similar to the class 225 and were designated as the class 215.9. Until their retirement in 2008, they ran the "Sylt Shuttle" auto trains as double m.u. combinations between Niebüll and Westerland on the Isle of Sylt. The "old" class 215 was thereby history starting in the middle of 2003.

Comment: For almost 100 years, the railroad fans in Germany and Europe have generally considered the Prussian P8 to be one of the most beautiful locomotives. Over 3,800 units were built from 1906 to 1928 for the Royal Prussian Railroad Administration (K.P.E.V.), for other provincial railroads, for foreign railroads, and for the German State Railroad (DRG). After 1945 over 300 locomotives were still in use in Germany. The last units worked in regional service well into Seventies. Around 20 locomotives have survived in operational condition down to the present, spread almost all over Europe.

Comment: Steam Locomotive 78 1001 At the start of the Fifties, acceleration of the suburban and city express passenger service enjoyed a high priority on the new German Federal Railroad but there were clearly limits to the roster of tank locomotives that could be used for this purpose. Locomotives with tenders were by contrast available in large quantities and the opportunity presented itself to investigate the large roster of class 38.10-40 (Prussian P 8) locomotives for this purpose. The DB therefore undertook the experiment to convert this type of locomotive into a tank locomotive in order to do away with the need to turn locomotives at destination stations. The firm Krauss-Maffei was engaged in 1951 at the suggestion of Professor Mölbert, Hannover, and in cooperation with the railroad's central office in Munich to equip road numbers 38 2890 and 2919 with short tenders. The boiler and running gear remained almost unchanged. Just the front truck was changed by the installation of a new pivot housing to obtain more side play. In addition, self-acting brake adjustment equipment was installed. The cab was now enclosed on all sides and was a completely new welded construction. The newly developed two-axle short tender was connected to the locomotive by means of a powerful drawbar, which had brake adjustment equipment in the style of a Krauss-Helmholtz frame. Coal could be taken through a round opening in the back wall of the cab, which was sealed to the tender by means of a rubber bellows. Both locomotives were rated after the conversion as tank locomotives with the wheel arrangement 4-6-4T and were therefore given the road numbers 78 1001 (former 38 2919) and 1002 (former 38 2890). They were certified for a permissible maximum speed of 100 km/h / 63 mph in both directions but in reverse at speeds over 60 km/h / 38 mph, the units were supposed to have been troublesome. More units were not converted because these investments were no longer worth it due to progressive structural changes in the railroad. Initially, both units ran in the Munich area starting in 1953. Later they were used in the Lake Constance area. Both locomotives were taken out of service in 1959 and retired in 1961.

Comment: The Class 151 Due to increasing performance requirements in heavy and fast freight service the class 151 appeared in 1972 as a further development of the 150 (until 1968: E 50). Its design was based on the new parameters from the Railroad Construction and Operation System (EBO) of 1967, which provided for freight service speeds up to 120 km/h / 75 mph and trainloads up to 2,000 metric tons. These values could only be achieved with a locomotive of over 5,000 kilowatts / 6,705 horsepower performance so that just reworking the class 150 was out of the question right from the start. Krupp and AEG were responsible for the design of the 151. In the interest of standardization, use was made of the proven traction motors for the classes 110 and 140. However, entirely new methods of insulation and heat dissipation had to be developed for the desired increase in performance. Despite this the locomotive became so heavy with the unavoidable new more powerful main transformer and the reinforced electric resistance brakes that the required axle load could be maintained only with extreme application of lightweight construction technology. The cabs were equipped with anatomically correct seats and air conditioning based on the latest information. Equipping the locomotives with energy-absorbing buffer beams was obligatory. The latter enabled the installation of center buffer couplers. The proven trucks from the 150 were discarded and new, welded lightweight steel trucks were designed. The class 103 provided box-style bracing and the wheel guide mechanism with Lemniskaten steering linkage. The proven rubber ring spring drive was preserved. A 29-step high voltage relay system with thyristor load relays provided control for the traction motor voltage. Road number 151 001 was delivered as the first unit on November 21, 1972. By 1977, 170 units were delivered by Krupp, Henschel, Krauss-Maffei, AEG, Siemens, and BBC. They were initially used all over West Germany and in part even with passenger trains. Road numbers 151 089-122 had and some still have today an automatic coupler ("Unicoupler"). For many years, they ran mostly as double units in m.u. operation pulling heavy ore trains in the routings Hamburg - Beddingen (5,700 metric tons), Venlo - Dillingen (5,130 metric tons) and Moers - Linz (3,220 metric tons). Up to 2009 only locomotives involved in accidents were retired. After this, so many units were stored because of the economic and financial crisis that the roster of six-axle locomotives still active in the last four years sank well down to half. Yet the 151 locomotives found a new field of activity among private firms. However, the DB too cannot do without these elegant freight locomotives for several years.

Prototype: Class 285 diesel electric locomotive painted and lettered for Rhein Cargo GmbH & Co. KG, Neuss. Built by Bombardier as a production locomotive from the TRAXX family of locomotives.

Model: The locomotive has a built-in digital decoder with the formats DCC, Selectrix, and Selectrix 2. It also has a 5-pole motor with a flywheel. 4 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive has a close coupler mechanism. Length over the buffers 118 mm / 4-5/8".

Comment: TRAXX Locomotives. Locomotives from the TRAXX (Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme fleXibility) family built by Bombardier are in operation everywhere in Europe today. In 1994, the AEG experimental 12X locomotive appeared, which then underwent testing as road no. 128 001 on the DB. The real success story began in 2000 however. Bombardier introduced the multiple system version: The class 185 was also designed for the power current systems of neighboring railroads. A total of 400 units of the class 185 are to be purchased. Depending on the country they will be used in, the locomotives are being equipped with the correct train safety systems and with electrical equipment as a "package". There are thus locomotives with two or four pantographs and different contact wiper widths as the most noticeable external differences. There are also many class 185.1 locomotives on private railroads. There is a class 146.1 160 km/h / 100 mph fast version of this locomotive for commuter service. The TRAXX family locomotives delivered starting in 2005 formed the next evolutionary step on European railroads: They were equipped with locomotive bodies with improved ability to withstand crashes; the shape of these locomotive bodies looks more powerful and brawnier at the ends. Other changes have to do with the electrical rectifier layout. Railion is presently putting 200 of these locomotives into service as the class 185.2. There is also a commuter service version of this locomotive for 160 km/h / 100 mph, the class 146.2. The German Railroad, Inc. is not the only eager buyer of this family of locomotives with an eye for the future. The SBB and many privately owned railroads such as the Swiss Crossrail are placing different models of the various series into service. The TRAXX 2E type program as the current evolutionary step now also enables a diesel electric TRAXX version that shares essential components with the earlier electrical versions. The privately owned railroads are the pioneers for the use of these diesel locomotives. The TRAXX DE locomotive is being used on the HVLE as the class 285 in freight service, but it is also being used on the "metronome" Railroad Company LLC as the class 246 pulling bi-level passenger trains on non-electrified routes.

After an interruption due to the great economic crisis, the electrification of the German State Railroad's network was continued starting in 1930. New, powerful locomotives were needed for the new routes. In the meantime, the German railroad industry had developed new concepts and prototypes for modern general-purpose locomotives. This design from Siemens showed clear progress compared to the previous provincial railroad designs that had merely been developed further. This unit was designed as a lightweight general-purpose locomotive and was built on a welded frame, mounted on trucks with integrated buffer beams and powered with axle-suspended motors. This gave this compact locomotive a total weight of 78 metric tons without the need for pilot trucks and still below the critical 20 metric ton limit for axle loads. The modern motors put out 2,200 kilowatts / 2,950 horsepower, which was available directly at the axles without the need for an expensive gear drive. The maximum speed reached on level track was 90 km/h or 56 mph. The first unit was successfully tested and placed into service by the German State Railroad as early as 1930 as the E 44 001. Additional regular production locomotives with a maximum speed of 80 km/h or 50 mph were ordered immediately, initially for the route from Stuttgart to Augsburg (with the Geislingen Grade). The German State Railroad purchased 174 regular production locomotives, of which 45 remained in East Germany with most of the rest in West Germany. Seven more locomotives were built new for the German Federal Railroad and several were equipped with push/pull controls or resistance brakes. The indestructible E 44 was in regular use well into the Eighties - at the end as the 144 (DB) and 244 (DR).

Comment: "Diving Goggles" - Classes 750, 753, and 754 for the ČD, ČDC, ZSCS, and ZSSK "Diving Goggles" or "Cobra" is the synonyms for the most striking diesel locomotive of former Czechoslovakia. The locomotives have nicknames thanks to the unique look with the anti-glare cabs. The Czechoslovakian locomotive builder ČKD developed the class T478.3 at the end of the Sixties in order to relieve the lack of diesel road engines for passenger service on the Czechoslovakian State Railways (ČSD). The predecessor model, the class T478.1, formed the basis. The new diesel electric unit was designed to be about 72 metric tons and had to be able to pull passenger trains at maximum speed of up to 100 km/h / 62.5 mph. Many proven components from the class T478.1 were adopted, the complete running gear, the design for the main frame and the engine room, the hydrostatic drive for the cooling vents, and the type PG 500 steam generator. By contrast, the locomotive body with its two end cabs were given a modern look developed by industrial designers. The type "K 12 V 230 DR" diesel motor was also newly developed by ČKD. Four hundred eight production locomotives were built between 1969 and 1977 as the class T478.3 (with steam heating). Starting in 1988, they were incorporated as the class 753 into the motive power roster of the ČSD according to the new numbering scheme. After the construction of two prototypes with higher performance in 1975 another 84 units of the comprehensive class T478.4 with electric heating were delivered in 1979/1980. The ČSD took them into the new numbering scheme as the class 754. Between 1991 and 1995, 163 units of the class 753 were converted to electric heating in the new class 750 with the same assignment numbers. After the division of Czechoslovakia on January 1, 1993, around 75% of the "Diving Goggles" came to the new Czech State Railroad (ČD), while the remaining 25% was taken over by the newly established Slovakian State Railroad (ÄSR). In 2001, the ČD sold 57 locomotives of the class 753 to Inekon Holding in Prague. The "Diving Goggles" were updated there and were sold mostly to an Italian private railroad operator starting in 2003. Nine units were equipped with a used slow running ČKD six-cylinder motor, 31 locomotives were given a new Caterpillar type "3512 B DITA" motor as well as new electrical equipment from Siemens. The latter were then designated as the class 753.7. The Italian Ferrovie Nord Milano (FNM) took 18 units of this group into their motive power roster as the class DE 520. Since then other locomotives were converted in a similar manner for the Czech private railroads AWT and Unipetrol Doprava as well as the freight service group ČDC of the Czech State Railroad.

Comment: OCEANOGATE Class 483 Electric Locomotive Bombardier had success with more than just the DB classes 145/146/185 in Germany with its "Traxx" family as a "jack-of-all-trades." Many other European railroads ordered and still order today single and multi-system electric locomotives as well as diesel electric units from this family. Over the course of the years critical improvement were made to individual members of the family. Since 2004, a reworked version has been delivered as "Traxx 2" with an altered locomotive body improved to withstand crashes. The layout for the voltage converter was also changed, whereby two fundamentally different designs of water-cooled power converters were now being used. Because the locomotives cannot carry the train safety systems and other equipment parts for all conceivable applications in countries buying the locomotives due to space and weight restrictions, the locomotives are equipped or retrofitted on delivery or later on request with certain "packages". There is thus a "Swiss package" with the Swiss train safeguards, two additional pantographs with narrow contact strips as well as other additions specific to the country. The version for traffic to France also has two additional pantographs and the French safety systems. There is also a base version with only two pantographs and without additional safety systems that can be used only in Germany and Austria. In 2005 the leasing company Angel Trains Cargo (since 2010 Alpha Trains) ordered ten Traxx 2 units exclusively for operation under 3 kilovolt DC for the Italian (and optionally Polish) domestic market. Bombardier took this as the occasion to develop the family for the Traxx 2E platform further in order to integrate diesel electric locomotives into the family and to increase further the general modularity. With the presentation of this "One 4 All Concept" at the InnoTrans 2006 in Berlin, Bombardier showed that DC, AC, and multi-system electric locomotives as well as diesel electric units could be called up from the "Traxx 2E" concept with no problem. A real showstopper is the fact that 70% of all of their parts and components are identical. In 2008, Angel Trains ordered another ten units for the Italian market. These 20 Angel Trains electric locomotives were given the road numbers E 483.001-020. Of these, road numbers 483 001, 006, 007, 018, 019, and 020 are currently leased long term to the Italian railroad firm Oceanogate Italia S.p.A. in La Spezia. Additional units of this DC Traxx 2E have been delivered recently to different Italian, Spanish, and Polish railroad firms as well as even 100 units to the Spanish State Railroad (Renfe).

Comment: The Taurus No. ES 64 U2-009 for MRCE (Mitsui Rail Capital Europe), Inc. has been running since June 30, 2014 with the decoration for the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Pan-European Picnic. The locomotive can be seen in Austria and Germany (currently it is pulling passenger trains on the DB between Berlin and Hamburg). The same locomotive for the GYSEV/Raaber Railroad, Inc. AG (road number 91 43 0470 505-8) was presented in Sopron on August 18, 2014. Since then it has been pulling passenger and freight trains in Hungary and Austria. We have thus achieved our plan: to carry the message of the anniversary with the same motif on the locomotives in all three countries participating in this historic process (in Hungary, Austria, and Germany) - EUROPE WITHOUT BORDERS. These historic events began with the Pan-European Picnic and have continued with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. The locomotive decoration project was realized due to the initiative of Loc & More, Inc. and is based on its plans (graphic artist: P‚ter Tranta). The costs of the project were born by GYSEV, Inc. and Loc & More, Inc. - with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Foundation for a Civic Hungary (PMA). What is the Pan-European Picnic? A good summary of the events can be read on the home page of the Pan-European Picnic: http://www.paneuropaipiknik.hu/index.php?site=30 The author is Dr. Imre T¢th, historian, Director of the Sopron Museum. The presentation of the locomotive decoration as a motif appeared as early as the 20th anniversary of the logo developed by the Picnic, this time in a silver color - corresponding to the 25th anniversary. A wire fence motif can be seen on the train in Austrian and Hungarian colors representing the border between Hungary and Austria. The GDR citizens are breaking out of the darkness of the communist era, severing the barbed wire, coming to the light of freedom, and uniting with their relatives and fellow citizens. The motif on the other side of the locomotive no longer "tells" the personal history of the German refugees, but rather represents the historic events that began with the Pan-European Picnic. The severed barbed wire, the houses of Sopron, the lighthouse as the town's landmark, a Trabi left behind, a watchtower _ and thus we come to the Berlin Wall, to the Brandenburg Gate. The sky above is done in the colors of the three participating countries. Both sides and the ends of the locomotives also have inscriptions in the languages of the participating countries. They send the most important message: EUROPE WITHOUT BORDERS - since 25 years. (Source: http://www.locandmore.eu)
