The Nord-Ostsee Bahn or NOB operated regional passenger services between Hamburg and Westerland from 2000 to 2016. NOB had a fleet of Class 223 and Class 251 diesels and modern push-pull stock. It also had a few DMUs for local services but the vast majority of trains were loco hauled.
In 2016 DB won the new Marshbahn contract, which had as one of its conditions the use of Schleswig-Holstein's own Class 245.2 diesels. NOB no longer operates rail services and most of the locos pictured have found new homes.
