145 030-3 Hanover Linden 2022 09 23
12.29: 145 030-3 (D-DB/ RBH Lease) heads East through Linden with a rake of diesel tanks.
This was one of the DB 145s "leased" to RBH Logistics back in 2018.
RBH has been owned by DB's Cargo division since 2005, so "sales" & :"leases" to RBH are just accounting moves.
145 030-3 (Works No. 33347), was built by Adtranz at Kassel Works and delivered to DB on 02/09/1999.
So it had just reached its 23rd birthday when I photted it.
It was only released a month earlier after its latest full overhaul (REV Unt. 17/08/2022).
Less than half of the original 80 DB Class 145s are still working directly for DB.
The rest are with RBH or 80% DB owned MEG - Mitteldeutsche Eisenbahn.
Both companies get DB hand me downs of some of the older loks DB don't need, but don't want to sell to competing companies.
