Schlünß Eisenbahn Logistik

Schlünß Eisenbahn Logistik (SEL) is a German railway company headquartered in Wankendorf. Founded in 2007 by Martin Schlünß, it initially operated as a personnel service provider for railway undertakings across Germany. In early 2017, the company expanded into locomotive ownership and rental, purchasing its first shunting locomotive, a Krauss-Maffei 1200BB, which is used at the Neustadt an der Donau site for feeder services to the Bayernoil refinery. Since then, SEL has steadily grown its fleet and operational radius, adding another shunting locomotive of the same type and two class 234 diesel locomotives. The first class 234 locomotive, 234 278-0, was reactivated in September 2018 and has since covered 100,000 km without incident in freight and work train service. In March 2021, SEL commissioned its fourth electric locomotive of class 181.2, which can also be used in France. The company's motto is "Mit bewährter Technik zum Erfolg" (With proven technology to success), reflecting its strategy of acquiring and refurbishing older locomotives to save them from scrapping. SEL also owns 17 air-conditioned compartment coaches of the former Avmz 111 class, including 3 Avmz109.2 and 14 Bwmz111.2/111.6, as well as 2 former half-luggage cars of type BDuu497.2. Work has begun on refurbishing air-conditioned society cars of the WGmh854 Rheingold class, and refurbishment of n-car control cars with luggage compartment (Bnrdzf477.3) is planned. The company offers tailor-made solutions for locomotive defects, capacity bottlenecks, and special train operations, providing shunting, transfer, freight, and passenger services. Its fleet is continuously expanded, and it cooperates with partners across Germany to offer additional vehicles. SEL is a private company, not listed on any stock exchange.

Schlünß Eisenbahn Logistik was founded in 2007 by Martin Schlünß as a personnel service provider for railway undertakings in Germany. The company initially focused on supplying staff to railway companies across the country. In early 2017, SEL expanded its business by purchasing its first locomotive, a Krauss-Maffei 1200BB shunting locomotive, which was deployed at the Neustadt an der Donau site for feeder services to the Bayernoil refinery. This marked the beginning of SEL's fleet ownership and rental operations. The company's strategy, guided by its motto "Mit bewährter Technik zum Erfolg" (With proven technology to success), involves acquiring older locomotives to save them from scrapping and refurbishing them for reliable service. Following the first shunting locomotive, SEL added another of the same type and two class 234 diesel locomotives. The first class 234, 234 278-0, was reactivated in September 2018 and has since run 100,000 km without incident in freight and work train service. Its sister locomotive, 234 242-6, has also performed reliably. In March 2021, SEL commissioned its fourth class 181.2 electric locomotive, which is approved for operation in Germany, France, and Luxembourg. The company has also expanded its passenger rolling stock, acquiring 17 air-conditioned compartment coaches of the former Avmz 111 class (including 3 Avmz109.2 and 14 Bwmz111.2/111.6) and 2 former half-luggage cars of type BDuu497.2. Refurbishment of air-conditioned society cars of the WGmh854 Rheingold class has begun, and refurbishment of n-car control cars with luggage compartment (Bnrdzf477.3) is planned. SEL continues to grow its fleet and operational radius, cooperating with partners across Germany to offer additional vehicles.
