On 02.02.2017, Siemens 247 904 and 906 arrived at Leipzig-Engelsdorf together. The two machines, soon to be hired to DB Cargo, came from München-Allach. In the next weeks, they will be available for test runs and staff training. DB Cargo will hire the locomotives for at least a one-year period from Siemens for freight services in the Halle area.
