On Borrowed Time
143.120 led RE 4787, the 11:27 Hof - Dresden semi-fast, past Ziegelhäuser, east of Ruppertsgrün on Sunday 1 May 2016.Electrification of the Reichenbach - Hof section was completed in late 2013 and most RE services went over to class 143 operation at the end of the year. Their reign is destined to be short lived with DB handing over operation to Transdev (formerly Veolia) subsidiary Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn on 12 June 2016. The new operator is expected to use Alstom Coradia Continental class 1440 articulated EMUs on its services.
