Recently, we saw what a BR 120 could possibly look like, wearing the WRS blue livery. But there is more fleet news about the German subsidiary of Widmer Rail Services: new TRAXX F140 AC1 electrics.
On 20.08.2019, a picture of several 185 series locomotives appeared on WRS Deutschland’s Facebook page – three electrics the private operator is adding to its fleet. Only a day later 185 536 ‘debuted’ with a freight train at Muttenz Rbf in Switzerland, already wearing the WRS logos on its sides and cab fronts. Tristan Zielinski made a picture:
