Günni Drives Goods
Locomotives in typical bright red of the German DB AG are nice to see on the rails, no question about it. But very colorful, well-designed engines are beautiful and attract a lot of attention. There are many of them on the rails of Europe, but none attracts more attention to curious viewers with such wide eyes. The locomotive is a 185.2 series. More precisely, it is the 185 367, which was presented at the DB Museum Nuremberg on September 20, 2019. This unique rail vehicle bears the name "Günni freight train". It has been running in front of freight trains in Germany and Austria and attracting the photo community to rail lines. The locomotive from the TRAXX family has become the mascot of DB Cargo. But who is "Günni" anyway? He is a one of seven kid’s character of the "Little ICE" family of the DB AG kid ́s marketing. He is in good company alongside "Robbi Regio," "Ida IC" and "Opa Adler," to name but a few, but "Günni Güterzug" can be purchased as play figure on board the ICE and IC trains. Since his exceedingly colorful design was so well accepted, the idea soon matured into the notion of bringing "Günni" to life, so to speak, on a real freight locomotive. "Günni"
is now in service with a wonderfully whimsical design. In September 2019, the 185 367 was transformed step by step from a completely normal train of the German DB freight service into the colorful "Günni" with the distinctive motto: "No matter how well you drive - Günni drives goods!"
