2011-04-07 - [AT] RTS got its fourth EuroRunner [update]

Home News Archive 2011-04-07 - [AT] RTS got its fourth EuroRunner [update]
There it is, the fourth EuroRunner for RTS from Austria, finally filling the gap in between the 2016 907 and 909! The new machine however is not painted in the RTS colours orange and silver (yet), although there was plenty of time to do so..

The designated 2016 908 arrived at the Swietelsky workshop-facilities near Fischamend yesterday. Coming from Munich, it hauled a short train, together with 2143.077, of conveyor belt- and ballast-carriages. Possibly it will get its RTS livery in the Autumn of 2011, but that information is not yet confirmed. - MO/GR/HP

update: At Fischamend, the locomotive is decorated with some provisorial RTS and Swietelsky-logos: picture. This website also states that the 908 will replace a RTS-EuroRunner that is currently being used by the GKB.
