Bombardier is currently working hard apply a solution for the overheating transformers of the Paribus-owned TRAXX Multi Engine locomotives currently operated by Nord-Ostsee-Bahn between Hamburg-Altona and Westerland (Sylt). Not only are operational locomotives monitored extra carefully, but additional locomotives have been hired as well to cover for TRAXX locomotives that are sidelined. The replacement locos are no strangers on the route, as it concerns Beacon Rail EuroRunners:

ER 20-001
ER 20-010
ER 20-011
ER 20-012
ER 20-014
ER 20-015

As an immediate stopgap solution, DE 2700 locomotives of RDC Autozug Sylt were hired in too. This solution was only temporary as RDC needs these locos itself for test runs prior to the launch of its new car shuttle services.

As it seems, the overheating problems that are haunting the NOB Class 245s have not been an issue for DB's TRAXX Multi Engine locomotives.
