Last week, both locomotives were seen with a special Coca-Cola train, with a American semi on a flat bed car and the coaches that were previously used for the Rewe-train (two of them seen in the picture above). Meanwhile, 204 returned to normal freight traffic (below). If anyone has (seen) an image of the special train, any info would be very welcome! (submit@railcolornews.com)
September – October: DB Cargo and Coca-Cola “Unterwegs zu mehr Klimaschutz” campaign
Soft drinks produced by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Germany (CCEP DE) are available throughout Germany. CCEP DE has 27 production and logistics facilities in the country for bottling, storing and distributing its beverages. Rail transport is an obvious option when short distribution routes can’t be used.
In July-October 2023, CCEP DE and DB Cargo had a promotional partnership to raise consumer awareness about green rail freight transport. Consumers could win one of the 300 Deutschland tickets.

Meanwhile, Coca-Cola has announced the stops of the Christmas train. But beware: “The tickets for the train tour stops are already sold out due to high demand. Further tickets are not available. It is not possible to exchange or cancel tickets. Thank you for being so understanding.”
