Historical Background

The Class 145 was developed by ADtranz from the late 1990s for freight operations in Germany and formed part of the first generation of the modular TRAXX locomotive platform. The 145 040-2 represents an early TRAXX F140 AC1 locomotive.

Initially operated by DB Cargo, 145 040-2 was subsequently equipped with the “Nahverkehrspaket” package for passenger services associated with Expo 2000. From 2018 it formed part of the RBH fleet before being sold to TRI Train Rental GmbH in 2024. Since 2025, the locomotive has operated in TRI's distinctive livery on passenger trains, giving this model a particularly contemporary European railway setting.
