2013-11-05 - [Site news] The mystery of MRCE 653-02 [Updated]

Home News Archive 2013-11-05 - [Site news] The mystery of MRCE 653-02 [Updated]

Currently we're puzzled by a little mystery. MRCE 653-02, as shown on the image, was on hire to ERS Railways as 6615 from October 2010 until November 2011 and has been on hire to HGK / Rheincargo as DE 681 since 1 January this year. However, the image shows 653-02 working a freight train on 22 October 2011. But to who was it leased?


Our guess is that it was in service for RTS, based on the orange wagons. Do you know more? Contact us here: link.


Solved: The machine was indeed on hire to RTS. At the time, it was used for transports of excavation material, that came free during the construction of the Kaiser Wilhelm Tunnel near Cochem. More images of the loco in RTS service here: link. (HZ)
