Seen through the lens of Frederik Lampe. On 11.04.2024, deep red ELP EuroDual 2159 254 visited Misburg with a train fully loaded with crushed stone. Do you notice something different?
Indeed, the smaller IGE logos are gone. 2159 254 now has BBL Logistik logos on its nose and BBL Logisitk fleet number 32 on its sides. Curious, the large IGE logo that is part of the landscape remained. Mix and match!
Why is this news?
IGE Bahn went bankrupt in 2023, and BBL Logistik took over. IGE Bahn was leasing 2159 247 and 254 from ELP, which have now become part of BBL Logistik’s fleet. The latter company did a minor rebranding while retaining IGE’s existing livery. The BBL Logistik ‘Euro’ fleet:
- BBL Logistik has: EuroDual 2159 230 and 252;
- BBL Logistik took over from IGE Bahn: EuroDual 2159 247 and 254;
- BBL Logistik got Euro9000 2019 309 and 312 whiwh were ordered by IGE Bahn;
- BBL Logistik ordered EuroDual in 2023.
