Germany

We did not spend as much time in Germany as I would like, but we did manage to visit Berlin, Munich and Dresden.

<p>09.05: DB Regio's 146 109-4 arrives on its RE7 service to Basel Bad Hbf.<br />
<br />
These are half hourly during the rush hour and hourly for the rest of the day.<br />
<br />
Still the same 14 years later in 2026, but the Traxx have been cascaded elsewhere and this is a now an EMU service, like so many in Germany.<br />
<br />
The Traxx P160 AC1 Class 146s were the last locos built purely for regional trains in Germany.<br />
<br />
They were built between 2001 and 2003 for both DB and Hamburg's Metronom. And then in batches, as needed, until 2013. <br />
<br />
25 Traxx P160 AC1 were also built for the Hungarian national carrier MAV (480 001-1 to 480 025-0 H-START).<br />
<br />
The 25 Siemens BR 182 Taurus loks, were delivered in 2001, but not for this role.<br />
<br />
They were built for DB Cargo, but moved to DB Regio when they had a surplus of locos after a downturn in freight in 2009.<br />
<br />
146 109-4 was delivered from Bombardier’s Kassel Werke to DB on 26/08/2004 (Works No. 33990).<br />
<br />
It was sent on delivery to Freiburg where it stayed until the 20/01/2020 after the December 2019 timetable change.<br />
<br />
Since then, 146 109-4 has worked off:<br />
- Bremen until 14/12/2024; <br />
- Kiel until 26/01/2025; <br />
- Bremen again until March 2025; and<br />
 - Kiel again since March 2025<br />
<br />
It is still based at Kiel in April 2026.<br />
<br />
Only 1 passenger waiting (maximum I saw ever getting on or off was about 10).</p>
