With multiple units in the fleet of On Site Rail France (OSR) being unavailable, Akiem 75101 is hired by OSR to reinforce the fleet for some while. The image shows the locomotive passing Rivecourt with train 61186 (Tergnier - Grandpuits).
Note that it's the first Prima in OSR's fleet with approval for F/D. All other Prima's in the fleet are homologated for France only.

Unlike Prima locos 75036 and 75110, which carry the full LINEAS company colour scheme, 75025 has not been given such an extensive restyling. The loco still sports the pink details reminding of the now defunct OSR France brand, but has seen the OSR France logos replaced by LINEAS logos. Electric Prima 27156 was given the same treatment and now also features LINEAS logos. It is expected more locos will follow soon.

OSR France has hired two additional Prima diesel locomotives of the BB 75000 series from Akiem. It concerns locomotives 75017 and 75025. Both locomotives have been styled into the new OSR livery, which includes partly pink cabs going over into a pink beam along the roof, similar to the livery used on the electric Prima's used by the company. Loco 75019 has received the new livery too, but was already in service for OSR for a longer time.
