Evening all!

 

There was a slightly odd formation working the RE 4609 service this morning:

...with two 111s top-and-tailing four double deckers and one "n" type coach, the latter of which you may be able to see just emerging from the shed. The loco in the lead was 111 217.

 

This odd formation may have been due the Frankfurt-Würzburg-Nuremberg regional line currently being interrupted between Aschaffenburg and Laufach due to construction work, with replacement buses filling the gap. Then again, I have frequently seen formations of mostly Modus coaches plus one "n" type on this line, so this may just have been a variety of the known train formation oddities there!

Was the N-Wagen a Wittenberge cab fitted Steuerwagen?

 

No, it was not a Steuerwagen. I can see what you're getting at, however, as I am familiar with formations involving Dostos coupled to a single level driving trailer, as the one from the Bahnbilder link. However, I admit I have known these only from regional workings in Bavaria, not from my region :blink: .

 

As for locos in front of driving trailers: This is quite common on Modus sets, at least those hauled by 111s, and a necessity in this case, as only the Modus driving trailers have 1st class seating.
