Captrain retourniert letzte Altbau-E-Lok

The use of former NS Class 1600 electric locos by private operators is in decline. After DB Cargo Netherlands withdrew its last remaining
Class 1600s at the beginning of April (TR EU 293 p59), Captrain Netherlands returned its final 1600 to leasing company Rail Rolling Stock at
the end of July. The loco, 1618, is due for a major overhaul, which is considered too expensive. Captrain Netherlands also leased 1619 and
1621 from Rail Rolling Stock but these locos were returned to their owner in 2018 and 2019. The final duty for 1618 was hauling gas tank
trains from Sloehaven to Geleen Lutterade. RL
