German Traction

Germany, by its very location and size, is host to a vast number of different traction types. The main operator is DB, and they run huge numbers of both freight and passenger workings that still have locomotive haulage.

On the passenger side, most main regional centres retain loco-hauled workings, ranging from Class 111s to Class 143s and Class 146s, with the InterCity work operated by Class 101 electric locomotives.
A lot of the express passenger workings have gone over to ICE units. There are also still some diesel locomotive diagrams, mostly in the hands of the Class 218 locomotives based mainly around Ulm and also Munich.

On the freight side, there are vast numbers of workings operated by both DB and by a large number of private firms.
The main DB locomotives used are the Class 185 TRAXX locomotives and also the Class 145 and 152 locomotives, while there are still some big diesels to be seen, most notably the Class 232 locomotives, known as Ludmillas.

Upon reunification of Germany, a lot of the former East German locomotives started to appear in the West and vice versa and the enthusiast is always guaranteed to see a wide variety of locomotives in action.

This book by Andrew Cole gives an overview of the locomotives used on German railways.

Bergsteiger - Zahnrad- & Standseilbahnen in Deutschland

They have cult status among most holidaymakers: cogwheel and funicular railways have been ensuring a sweat-free ascent to numerous German peaks for many decades.
Mostly because of the beautiful view, but sometimes also as an important means of transport, such as the "Zacke" to Degerloch in Stuttgart and the cable car to the Waldfriedhof. Although the still existing railways were modernized in the 1990s at the latest, their very own charm has been retained.

With current and many historical photos, this book provides a detailed presentation of the railways between Drachenfels and Zugspitze. A trip on these railways opens up a whole new dimension.

Deutschlands Lokomotiven und Triebwagen - Das Verzeichnis aller deutschen Fahrzeugtypen 1925 bis 1970

This "Verzeichnis Deutscher Lokomotiven and Triebwagen" offers a comprehensive overview of the inventory of German vehicle types, which is difficult even for specialists to keep track of and is not presented in this form in the existing literature.

After the legendary first work "Maey/Born" in the 1920s and the long out of print "List of German Locomotives 1923-1963", this is the first complete list. It begins with the renumbering of the state railway locomotives in 1925 and extends for the first time to the system of computer numbers of DB and DR up to 1970.

The renowned railway historian Andreas Knipping presents for the first time an overall assessment of the historical German numbering system, which was created for the steam locomotive and had to make way for a vehicle fleet dominated by electric and diesel vehicles.
In addition to an overview of all locomotive numbers assigned by DRB, DB and DR, the book contains comprehensive data, facts and over 300 photographic vehicle portraits.
