[edit] Class 4000 Locomotives

The class 4000 is a variant of the Bombardier BR 185 locos found working across Europe. Within Luxembourg they work on the local passenger services (crossing the borders into France or Belgium as necessary). They also work freight traffic. Their 15kV capability allows them to work across the border to Germany as well as France.

Their slab sided body work has been used for advertising.
