The “White Lady” is an iconic name, related to the classic East-German Class 143/243 locomotives. It became the nickname of the white/red painted series prototype – the designated 212 001 (later 243 001). Now the classic livery has re-appeared again (yes, 143 117 also had it briefly) for the third time – now applied to locomotive 243 822 (143 822) – now property of Fahrzeugwerk Karsdorf (FWK).

On the 9th of December, this new White Lady made her appearance with a special charter train in Städteexpress design – a classic East-German livery. The trip was organized by Erfurter Bahnservice (EBS), mother company of FWK.
