The prototype: The class 151 at Lokomotion

The Munich-based company Lokomotion has been an important player in freight transportation across the Alps for over two decades. The company's "Zebra" locomotives have long been cult among railroad enthusiasts. In addition to rented machines, Lokomotion also uses its own vehicles, including four class 151 locomotives, which were originally taken over from DB AG.
