Salzbergen V200.1
Enjoyed by two railfans in the first coach, Class 'V200.1' 221 138-1 heads away from Salzbergen on a misty 20th August 1977 with a service for Rheine, the two 1,350hp engines of this 1960s-built diesel-hydraulic making easy work of this light trailing load. 221 138 was one of twenty locos of this class sold by DB to the Greek Railways (OSE) in 1988. After being taken out of service at the end of the 1990s, they were repatriated to Germany by the Prignitzer Eisenbahn GmbH for use by private rail freight companies, but 221 138 was not one that survived to see further use.
