After being sidelined for almost a year, Macquarie Rail has found a new customer for 146 519 and 521. HSL Logistik has decided to hire both locomotives for freight services. Photo: Marcus Alf/Steffen Kliemann

If you have it, you have seen it right. Now a blue Macquarie Rail locomotive, no. 146 520-2, is helping out at Metronom's. Due to a shunting accident, two trains are currently unavailable for service. Next to that, the company is also facing a personnel shortage. All this lead to a slightly reduced time table (now being back on norma level) and an extra locomotive.

Thanks to Patrik Meyer-Rienitz we can now show an image:

We received the message that Regiobahn Bitterfeld Berlin (RBB) has stopped using the four Transdev TRAXX AC2 locomotives, 146 519-522. They now operate other locomotives from their own Captrain/ITL organisation. But that leaves the question, what is Transdev going to do now with these four blue and yellow locomotives. Who can give us a hint?

Update: the locomotives are currently parked in Eisenach (DE).
