Locomotives around Innsbruck, 3rd and 6th June 2026

 Here, I am avoiding the Taurus and Vectron types which were, of course, very visible.


Arriving at Innsbruck on 3rd found 2070 027 in a yard. The Class 2070 diesel-hydraulic was built by Vossloh at the Kiel MaK facility as their model G 800 BB "Hector".


Similar 2070 073 at the southern end of the station.

Leaving Innsbruck, I noted this pair of Class 1144


On Saturday 6th, I returned to find them in the same place. This is 1144 050, built in January 1980, and the older number 1044 050 can still be seen at the frame level. heavy maintenance on this class is finally completing in summer 2026.


The other example is 1144 069, new in December 1980. Both locomotives appear to have sat here for a while, as they can be seen on Google Maps, with the same marks and weathering on the roofs.


Class 2067 are diesel hydraulic shunters of 600 hp, built between 1959 and 1977. 2067 094 was new in September 1975.


Similar 2067 095 was also new in September 1975.
