Having been hired from Beacon Rail Leasing only recently (together with ER 20-001 and 015), Die Länderbahn's ER 20-013 is now underway in a special promotional livery for bodo, which is short for Bodensee-Oberschwaben Verkehrsverbundgesellschaft GmbH. Both sides of the locomotive feature a different scene. One shows the Bodensee, while the other features the green hills in front of the Alps. According to DLB, also ER 20-015 is to be given a new livery, but we have learned this will be restricted to the application of Alex logos. The same treatment is foreseen for ER 20-001 and MRCE's ER 20-007. The four locos are to free up more original ALEX locos leased from Alpha Trains, enabling a more frequent service between Münich and Prague.
