Over the past weeks, Stadler’s EuroDuals has effectively become a part of the modern locomotive scene in Germany. Railcolor News showed you all the operators that are using this locomotive design in their railway activities; these were (in order of appearance): HVLE, BSAS, Boxtango, and Captrain. Now it is time to conclude the series with the only operator missing – HHPI.
Railcolor News thanks Christoph Müller Sebastian Bollmann, Christian Klotz, Johannes Knapp, and Andreas Kunert for contributing to this article with their amazing photographs. This article was originally published on 29.04.2020 – and updated on 01.05.2020 (new image added).
