🇩🇪 The second generation of ICE is disappearing: Until 2027, the entire fleet of DB’s ICE2 trains will be retired ⬇️ These trains, built from 1994 to 1998, were considerably shorter than the previous generation, enabling 2 sets to be coupled to one another 🧑‍❤️‍💋‍🧑 They are now being retired due to their age and lack of ETCS, which will become a necessity on its core routes from 2027 Weirdly enough, its older counterpart, the ICE1, has received updates recently to keep them operating for longer 👴🏻 Are you going to miss these trains? 💬 #ice2 #DeutscheBahn #DBfernverkehr #railcolor #Highspeedtrain

🇩🇪 Deutscher text unten ⬇️ EN | The real deal: The first production Vectron Dual Mode for DB Fernverkehr is ready ➡️ These locomotives will be used to haul ICE L services on unelectrified routes, and act as rescue locomotives. A demo locomotive with the same specifications could already be seen at InnoTrans 2024 DB found a ‘Shortcut’ to get these machines, by ordering from the framework agreement for the Vectron Dual Mode Light for DB Cargo/Bahnbau 📑 How do you like the DB Fernverkehr livery on a Vectron? 💬 — DE | Der erste serienmäßige Vectron Dual Mode für DB Fernverkehr ist fertig ➡️ Diese Lokomotiven werden im ICE L-Verkehr auf nicht elektrifizierten Strecken eingesetzt und sollen als Rettungslokomotiven genutzt werden. Eine Demonstrationslokomotive mit den gleichen Spezifikationen war bereits auf der InnoTrans 2024 zu sehen. Die DB hat eine „Abkürzung“ gefunden, um diese Maschinen zu bekommen, indem sie aus dem Rahmenvertrag für den Vectron Dual Mode Light für DB Cargo/Bahnbau bestellt hat 📑 Wie gefällt dir die DB Fernverkehr-Farbgebung auf einem Vectron? 💬 #railcolor #vectron #DBfernverkehr #baureihe248 #DeutscheBahn

🇩🇪 Deutscher text unten ⬇️ EN | Going ‘green’: Siemens has begun construction on three two-car Mireo Plus H trains to replace diesel units from the Mühldorf hub. ⬇️ The units are to be operated by DB Regio, who was awarded the ‘Linienstern Mühldorf’ contract from 2024 to 2035 This ‘experiment’ considered expensive and suboptimal, as TU Dresden has made a report for BEG, concluding both electrification and battery trains would be cheaper and result in more CO2 reduction. 🔋 What do you think of this decision? 💬 —— DE | Siemens hat mit dem Bau von drei zweiteiligen Mireo-Plus-H-Zügen begonnen, die Dieseltriebzüge des Hubs Mühldorf ersetzen sollen.⬇️ Die Züge sollen von DB Regio betrieben werden, die den Auftrag für die „Linienstern Mühldorf“ von 2024 bis 2035 erhalten hat. Dieses „Experiment“ wird als teuer und suboptimal angesehen, da die TU Dresden im Auftrag der BEG eine Studie durchgeführt hat, die zu dem Ergebnis kommt, dass sowohl eine Elektrifizierung als auch Batteriezüge billiger wären und zu einer größeren CO2-Reduzierung führen würden. 🔋 Was hältst du von dieser Entscheidung? 💬 #railcolor #Hydrogen #DBregio #bayern #siemensmireo
