[DE] 4-engine Traxx locomotives for the Südostbayernbahn (SOB)

Home Bombardier TRAXX DE (ME) TRAXX DE Multi Engine DB 245 [DE] 4-engine Traxx locomotives for the Südostbayernbahn (SOB)

In 2014, the Südostbayernbahn (SOB) will get eight 4-engine Traxx DE locomotives for passenger services. Edit: It is not clear if this is the second order for this type of locomotive, or a selection from the twenty units ordered by DB Regio on 18.04.2011.


At the Transport&Logistics fair, Bombardier spread leaflets with the main technical parameters of the future 4-engine locomotives. It will get four Caterpillar C18 engines with a 2256 kW in total. On the question, if the new units will get the new front-design as presented with the AC3-version, Bombardier answered that the DB favors the current Traxx design, which is more similar to what they already have (Baureihe 185).
