1st order |
In May 2008, German open access operator Lokomotion, commonly owned by Brenner Schienentransport AG, Kombiverkehr GmbH, Rail Traction Company and Railion Deutschland AG, ordered six Traxx AC2 electrics for services in Austria and Germany. All six were outshopped in June and July 2009.
Unit 185 661, 662 and 663 have a striking Lokomotion livery, with black and blue stripes, often nicknamed the 'Zebra look'. 185 664 and 665 carry KombiVerkehr logos in red and black.
 The last one, 185 666, got a very special paint scheme because of its devilish service number. Lokomotion blue turns into red. Later on this red variety was adpated by Lokomotion's partner RTC from Italy as the standard paint scheme for its locomotives.

[DE] Loco-hauled replacement train in Meridian services
We all know about the big train crash in Bad Aibling last February. Very sad. Lives were lost, many speculations about the possible cause, a lot of discussions about railway safety.
Several trains were destroyed, resulting in a shortage of rolling stock for rail operator Meridian. Since this week, a rake of National Express colored coaches is used as 'replacement train'. The train is hauled by locomotives hired to Lokomotion, resulting in exotic train combinations in southern Germany. We have seen 185 661 in Lokomotion livery and 193 208 in ELL livery for example. Thank you Michael Raucheisen.

[DE/AT] KombiVerkehr: pimp your 185
The two TRAXX AC2s of Lokomotion, that have the KombiVerkehr livery, got pimped. 185 664 got images on its side of a container terminal. Note that also the big black numbers up front are in a different font now:
Locomotive 185 665-7 got blue and white stickers on its sides, promoting the KombiVerkehr concept, putting your truck on the train (Thanks Elias Pranti):

 About a week ago, we asked what was written on the side of 185 665. It was: Danke, Reinhilde, Ingolf, Ako. Was because the text only lasted for 1,5 week and was then removed again. - LJ

Today the sixth and last Traxx AC2 locomotive for Lokomotion had its maiden run. Because of its service number, 666, the operator decided that the machine should have a develish character... All details which are blue on unit 661, 662 and 663 are now painted in red. - CK/SK
