02.07.2025: +++ Update +++ Fourth guest locomotive confirmed for the upcoming event +++
Following the confirmations for diesel locomotives 232 450, 232 673 and 1151, we are pleased to announce the participation of diesel locomotive 232 903 from Lok-OST at our event next weekend.
Like the other two class 232 locomotives, it was built in Luhansk, now Ukraine, during the Soviet era and was used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn from 1975. After the fall of communism, it was temporarily taken to the Netherlands, where a subsidiary of DB AG used it for freight trains. After returning to Germany, it was used for the freight train division of DB AG for a few more years before being sold to the current owner in 2018. The locomotive still wears the color scheme in which it and its sisters were painted in the last years of service at DB AG, namely red with a white bib on the fronts.
