Re: From Universal to Modular (2/2) (none / 1)

Siemens is now producing a variant of the ES64F4 for MRCE Dispolok in Italy that lacks the ability to operate under AC power supply. These are numbered E189.4xx by the Italian Authorities. The first 10 were snapped up by Veolia Cargo, SBB Cargo, and NordCargo.

Many of the ES64F4 locomotives belonging to DB Schenker only have two pantographs also.

Re: From Universal to Modular (2/2) (none / 0)

You're right! Checking, it's the DC pantographs missing on the last 40 (DB 189 061-100), but the electronics is there and they can be retrofitted.
