[AT] Download now: That typical Taurus melody
You may have heard it? When a Siemens ES64U2 type locomotive enters or leaves that station, it makes music, it produces a melody. Some say it sounds like an Alt-Sax. The ÖBB has recorded the sound for you, read more.

[DK] Hector Rail takes speed record on rail in Denmark
During the night of 21-22 March Hector Rail operated a test train with a speed of 235.8 km/h on behalf of Bane Danmark (Danish Infrastructure Authority). This is a high speed record for trains in Denmark.
Hector Rail was acting as operator and provided locomotives and drivers for the tests. The tests took place at the Great Belt Bridge. It is Hector Rail's ambition to constantly take the railway to new levels and this is a good example to visualize this ambition.
The locomotive used in the tests is a so-called "Taurus locomotive". These locomotives were built and approved for 230 km/h. Hector Rail has seven such locomotives in its fleet.

[DE/DK] Test runs with DB 182 506 and Hector Rail 242 502
They look entirely different now, but these locomotives have the same roots. Once they were both part of the Siemens (later MRCE) Dispolok leasing fleet. ES 64 U2-002 was sold to Hector Rail and is now the 242 502. ES 64 U2-006 was acquired by DB Systemtechnik and now hauls various DB test trains through Germany.
Lately the machines were in action together at the German-Danish border for testing the catenary. A picture from the test train in Padborg by Andreas Staal.

[DE] DB systemtechnik 182 506
A portrait of the 'new' 182 506 for DB Systemtechnik, in its new red livery. This locomotive will replace the good old 103 222. For sure we will see the 506 many times on the website in the future, in combination with many new locomotives that need to be tested or homologated in Germany. - ML
