As of late September, more TRAXX AC3s are being operated internationally. This means that 187s previously used in Austria or Switzerland only, now also come to Germany. An colorful example is LTE's new 187 930 running to Hamburg. Martin Voigt and Markus Alf both caught the locomotive on camera in Germany last week.

Christian Blumenstein made this picture of recently delivered 187 930 of LTE. It is pulling train 48992 from Vienna to Passau on 04.07.2016.

LTE Logistik- und Transport GmbH, located in Graz, Austria, is celebrating its 15-year anniversary. And a special year requires a special locomotive. On 27.06.2016 LTE and presented the first Bombardier TRAXX AC3 Last Mile Locomotive in Austria during a special event in Graz (AT). This is the first delivery of this vehicle type in Austria for Bombardier and an affirmation of sustainable rail transport in Europe for the LTE group.

The machine we see in the picture is the brand new LTE 187 930 (91 81 1187 930-3 A-LTE), which was ordered in December 2015. On 23.06.2016 it was transported from the Bombardier factory in Kassel to Austria. The machine is equipped for services in Germany, Austria, Hungary and Romania. Check out its new Flex Panel, calling the machine the 'Lord of the Rails' :p.
