Diesel Locomotive BR 216 DB Cargo

Info about the original

The 216 locomotive series had already reached the end of its useful life in the 1990s. After the locomotives and employees were split up across the business areas, the 216 was operated by DB Cargo, as the freight traffic division was called at that time. As the management – unlike in former years – pinned their hopes on a rapid implementation of the “corporate identity”, many locomotives of all series were repainted even a few years prior to their decommissioning.
