[AT] RailJet locomotives / Siemens EuroSprinter
1116 201 is painted in the final RailJet livery, which is different on details compared to the dark red and grey colours of the 1116 200 (the demonstrator of the red RailJet livery). Cab number two which will be coupled with the new RailJet rakes, is painted completely grey upfront and the bottom is decorated with a silver line for example. As far as we know, the machine has not got all the neccessary signalling systems yet, which will make it possible in the future to use these locomotives in Hungary, Austria and Switzerland.
1116 204 however, is equipped with MAV-EVM, ÖBB/DB-PZB + LZB and SBB ZUB signalling systems, and has got silver painted skirts by its bogies, transformator, and mirrors, but is still painted in the normal red OBB livery.
1116 215 is in Linz right know and its the first Taurus locomotive with RailJet livery and MAV-EVM, ÖBB/DB-PZB + LZB and SBB ZUB signalling systems.

[NL/BE] 186 hauls the Benelux! / Bombardier Traxx
Today it really happened! All administrative and technical difficulties are finally solved and E186 119 had the honor to be the first Traxx locomotive actually hauling a commercial Benelux train from Amsterdam to Brussels. On the pictures you see the locomotive with a rake of Benelux Prio-coaches ready for service at Amsterdam Watergraafsmeer depot and, some time later, calling at Amsterdam Central Station.
