Description
German Traction by Andrew Cole provides an in-depth look at the diverse range of traction types used in Germany. With its unique location and size, the country is home to various locomotive haulage systems, operated by major operators such as DB. The passenger services feature a mix of loco-hauled workings, including Class 111s, Class 143s, and Class 146s, alongside electric units like the Class 101. Express passenger services have largely switched to ICE units, while diesel locomotives remain in use, particularly with the Class 218 locomotives around Ulm and Munich. The freight sector is also diverse, with DB and private firms operating a vast number of workings. The book highlights the main DB locomotives used, including the Class 185 TRAXX, Class 145, and Class 152, as well as notable diesels like the Class 232 locomotives known as Ludmillas.
