Update 30.03.2020
Nicolas Kunz sent us two amazing pictures, showing all 4 locomotives in action in Switzerland. The images were taken on 28.03.2020 on the Aargau Southern Railway (Aargauische Südbahn), between Mühlau and Sins (CH). First up we have 193 525 ‘Rotterdam’ (a.k.a. ‘The Hollandpiercer), together with 193 527 ‘Main’:
But wait, Nicolas also captured the sparkling new locomotive pair – 193 524 “Limmat” + 193 526 “Maas” – at the same place. Notice that the pantograph combination in this picture is different:
Update 06.04.2020
We’re adding a close-up photo of 193 527 “Main”, which was sent to us by Steffen Ott. It shows the locomotive hauling service ‘DGS 40134’ which runs between Gallarate and Rotterdam near Rüsselsheim-Bauschheim (DE):
