An alternative to Diesel: the Baureihe 563

More and more of these trains have appeared in the Offenburg area recently. Technically, I could be talking about both of the trains above because I'd never seen a Baureihe 218 locomotive (right) before, though over 400 were built in the 70s, but I am talking about the train on the left: the Baureihe 563.

5 is an unusual first digit for a German train type. Locomotives start with a 1 or a 2, for electric and Diesel power respectively, while passenger-carrying multiple units start with a 4 or a 6, again for electric and Diesel power respectively. Evidently, as seen above, these trains can run on non-electrified lines, but they are not Diesel multiple units - they are battery-electric multiple units.

Part of the Siemens Mireo family, the Mireo Plus B can run on electric power either from the overhead cable, or from the onboard batteries. The manufacturer states that the train can run between 80 and 120 km on battery power before needing a recharge from overhead cable, typically at a terminal station. This makes this train ideal for relatively short runs, such as those seen around Offenburg, the central station of the Ortenau area. As such, they are becoming more common, running local services for regional operator SWEG, indifferently on non-electrified lines like the one to Oberkirch, or electrified lines such as the picturesque Schwarzwaldbahn.

I know that Japan and the UK (link to Jago Hazzard's review of the GWR Class 230 and a quick overview of the BEMU topic) have also recently (re)introduced BEMUs. France hasn't really got on-board with this yet, as far as I know. Instead, they have built lots of bi-mode trains (mentioned at the end of the post), which have electric motors which can be powered by overhead cables or by an on-board Diesel engine.

Kreayshawn Looks Back On “Gucci Gucci” 10 Years Later

“It’s not just as simple as, ‘Oh, poor me. I got famous and I got a record deal,'” Kreayshawn says over Zoom from an undisclosed location (“I have trouble with weird stalkers”). “It’s like, I grew up terribly. I have child abuse. I have anxiety, depression, terrible PTSD. I was having seizures all the time. That’s why it sucked. If I was more of an outgoing person and didn’t have all these problems, then it probably wouldn’t have been a terrible story. But that lifestyle was not for me at all.” (…) Still, as she quickly learned, a life of non-stop record promotion just didn’t sit well with her. When Kreayshawn became pregnant in 2013, she was swiftly dropped from her label, and today she claims that she still doesn’t see any money from “Gucci Gucci,” as she owes a significant debt to Sony. (…) You’re going to all these places, and you don’t even have time to catch a breath. And on top of all that, my health was just insanely terrible. The whole thing was just a concoction for trauma. It’s terrible. (…) But yeah, I’m in debt. Last time I checked, I was in debt, $800,000. So people are like, “Let’s stream her out of debt,” and I’m calculating how many streams. I’m like, “Yeah, y’all ain’t going to be able to do this. There’s about what? A couple of thousand of you. Ain’t going to work. I’m sorry. Don’t even play it. Just play the other EPs, the newer stuff.” And then that helps. But I hate that song so much. When that song comes on, there’s a bodily response that sends me into an instant panic attack. That song, when it is in my ears, it’s so loud. And I ask my friends, I’m like, “Is this song loud to you?” And they’re like, “No.” I’m like, “Sounds like nails on a chalkboard.” (…) Fuck it. Yeah, I’m still doing music. I play video games a lot. So a lot of my time is playing video games, streaming, OnlyFans stuff, working on projects, and it’s chill. I’m vibing. Everything’s good.
