| This sleek and sexy looking electric freight locomotive is on the roster of the full-service locomotive leasing company, Mitsui Rail Capital Europe (MRCE). The ES 64 F4 is an electric three-phase freight locomotive with 6,400 kW power and a top speed of 140 km/h. It is also equipped for passenger service, but seldom used in that role. ES 64 F4 is equipped for all four electric systems commonly used in Europe. Because limited space inhibits installation of all safety systems, class 189 is equipped with various packages, e. g. Germany and Switzerland. The electric brake is connected with an energy recovery system. It is in service with Deutsche Bahn AG as class 189. |
