Here is another one, from the year 2000. German trains running on SVO (new rapeseed oil).
"600 hp locomotive runs like clockwork on rapeseed oil World premier in Prignitz in Brandenburg A locomotive from the Prignitzer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (PEG) is the first locomotive in the world to run on rapeseed oil. The locomotive is used for shunting goods trains in Berlin. The PEG has acquired the license for the use of the regenerative raw material form the patent holder Klaus Elsbett from ThalmŠssing near NŸrnberg. A PEG power car has been operating on pure vegetable oil since November. Now more and bigger model V 200 locomotives are to be converted. The large goods locomotives consume almost 5,000 litres of fuel daily. With a litre price for rapeseed oil of 0.30 euro, the conversion costs of around 7,600 euro per machine are amortised in a short period, according to PEG. PEG operates a rail network of 230 kilometres and achieves an output of 1.3 million train kilometres annually in passenger traffic. The rail company is also active in the goods traffic business. (PHOTO) The power car on the left was the "test vehicle". In future the V 200 heavy goods locomotive will also be travelling with rapeseed oil.
