Germany, by its very location and size, is host to a vast number of
different traction types. The main operator is DB, and they run
huge numbers of both freight and passenger workings that still have
locomotive haulage. On the passenger side, most main regional
centres retain loco-hauled workings, ranging from Class 111s to
Class 143s and Class 146s, with the InterCity work operated by
Class 101 electric locomotives. A lot of the express passenger
workings have gone over to ICE units. There are also still some
diesel locomotive diagrams, mostly in the hands of the Class 218
locomotives based mainly around Ulm and also Munich. On the freight
side, there are vast numbers of workings operated by both DB and by
a large number of private firms. The main DB locomotives used are
the Class 185 TRAXX locomotives and also the Class 145 and 152
locomotives, while there are still some big diesels to be seen,
most notably the Class 232 locomotives, known as Ludmillas. Upon
reunification of Germany, a lot of the former East German
locomotives started to appear in the West and vice versa and the
enthusiast is always guaranteed to see a wide variety of
locomotives in action.
