BR295 295 003-8 der DB mit einem Kesselzug auf der KBS385 (KM 124_2) nord-östlich von Osnabrück. (Okt 2013)
DB Class 290 The DB Class V90 (after 1968 the DB Class 290) locomotive is a German diesel-hydraulic locomotive for shunting and freight hauling. The DB Class V90 locomotives are similar to DB Class V 100 (Class 211 & 212) locomotives, they stemmed from a need for a heavy shunting locomotive. Maschinenbau Kiel in co-operation with BZA München designed a longer and heavier locomotive, of a completely new design. In 1964, a pilot production of 20 of these were manufactured with a 1,100 horsepower (820 kW) engine as used in the DB Class and a 70 km/h top speed. In 1974 the first locomotive of the main production was produced - these locomotives had the 1,350 horsepower (1,010 kW) engine used in the DB Class and a top speed of 80 km/h, the length of the locomotive was also extended to ; by 1974 408 had been built by MaK, Deutz, Henschel and Jung. The machines have both a Dead-man's vigilance device (German:Sifa) and "Inductive train control system" (German:Indusi) (see Punktförmige Zugbeeinflussung) safety devices. From 1995, large numbers of locomotives of the class 294 and 295 were fitted a radio remote produced by Krauss-Maffei (KM) carried by remote train driver (German:Lokrangierführer LRF ) in a so-called "Belly Box" (see Remote control locomotive for details). The locomotives have radio receiver in the cab, the LRF (remote train driver) must manually turn on the locomotive cab radio using a key switch on the locomotives control panel. A vehicle equipped with this type of remote control has a lamp above the cab window that lights to indicate that the locomotive is capable of receiving the radio signal. This means that the remote train driver (LRF) can now operate the locomotive at the trackside. Various functions can be activated remotely - brakes, start, Vkonstant: running speed is automatically maintained, Sand, clutch etc.
