The Kiel–Lübeck railway is a non-electrified, mostly single-track railway line in eastern Schleswig-Holstein in north Germany. It links Kiel and Lübeck, the only two large cities (with more than 100,000 inhabitants) in the state. Passenger services on the 81-kilometre route are currently (2010) operated by DB Regio. Rolling Stock: DB BR 218 Runs between Lübeck And Kiel and back as an RE83 About the loco: The class 218 of the German Federal Railroad (DB) is a class of four-axle diesel locomotives. For many years it was the most common and most important representative of West German mainline diesel locomotives. It is still to be found today on many of the non-electrified Deutsche Bahn AG lines, both in long-distance and in local rail and freight transport. dbpbzf 765.5 The dbpbzf 765.5 Runs between Lübeck And Kiel and back as the RE38 About the loco: built years: 2005-09 Heating design: climate Energy supply: Central energy supply from the train busbar Manufacturer: Bombardier, Görlitz plant br 648 Runs between Lübeck And Kiel and back as an RB84 About the loco: Train length LINT 41: two cars, 41.89 m (137 ft 5+1⁄4 in) Car length LINT 27: 27.26 m (89 ft 5+1⁄4 in) Maximum speed 120-140 km/h (75-87 mph) Built in 1999 Lübeck Hbf & Kiel hbf
Not a lot of information about the route. The BR218 sure looks nice, I'd be interested in that. Not a fan of modern stuff so not interested in the BR648 and yet another set of Dostos.
Not that I'm aware of. You sure you aren't confusing it with the 232? They did, but not for the 'right' game.
Here is a brand new video of a cab ride from Kiel to Lübeck in a 218 (with open windows). I love the sound
