30.06.2025: +++ Update +++ Guest locomotive confirmed for the upcoming event +++

We are delighted to be able to present the first guest locomotive that will be taking part in our event next weekend. It is the diesel locomotive 232 673 from Bahnbetrieb Gera GmbH. It was built in 1981 in Luhansk, now Ukraine. The nickname of this class is therefore "Ludmilla". The locomotive was put into operation by the former Deutsche Reichsbahn, later transferred to DB AG and was decommissioned by the latter in 2014 because demand for heavy diesel locomotives was declining. It then began its second life with several private railway companies, which mainly used it for goods trains and still do so today. The current owners have restored the locomotive to its original colour scheme, so that it is a perfect reminder of the diesel locomotive era in the Wittenberge engine shed thirty years ago. We are endeavouring to have another locomotive of this class for the upcoming event to make the memory perfect. We are also endeavouring to get a class 155 electric locomotive, although its appearance is not yet one hundred percent guaranteed because its operating schedule for next week has not yet been fully clarified. However, we are optimistic and will inform you as soon as we have more concrete information.overview
