Remarks & Notes |
The worldspeedrecordholder for locomotives here in normal service with an intermodal from Regensburg (D) to Trento (I) at the Austrian part of the Brennerline. That worldrecord was established on September 2, 2006 at the highspeedline Nürnberg-Ingolstadt (Germany) and by that time the locomotive was still owned by Siemens and numbered 1216 050. By May 2008 the 1216 050 was handed over to ÖBB, renumbered to 1216 025 and painted in this colourscheme. By 2020 a new tunnel Innsbruck-Fortezza (I) of 56 km. length will be opened.
