Our Locomotive BR 218 “Hartmut” on duty in the Black Forest

After the successful engine replacement, our locomotive BR 218 “Hartmut” is fully operational again and has already proven its performance in the Black Forest. Between 27 October and 4 November, we supported Schweerbau with works between Donaueschingen and Schwenningen, where tracks and switches were renewed.

Our task: construction site logistics. Originally, a round-the-clock operation was planned, but a defect on a construction machine led to several shifts being cancelled.

Nevertheless, our teams made full use of the remaining working window — from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. — to deliver strong performance and demonstrate how reliably HERING Bahndienste operates, even under changing conditions.

A special thank-you goes to photographer Florian Brugger, who captured the impressions on site (Instagram: @_ablachtal.trainspotting_).
