Federal Railway Authority
Only since the turn of the millennium, has rolling stock use changed fundamentally. Class 425 and 426 electric multiple units are used for passenger services. These should have been replaced by Bombardier Talent 2 (class 442) EMUs in 2010. However, since they were not approved to operate by the Federal Railway Authority ("Eisenbahn-Bundesamt"), class 143 locomotives were used with older double-decker carriages. French X 73900 (Alstom Coradia) diesel multiple units are used on weekends between Trier and Metz.
