The ALEX fleet of class 223s is very tightly diagrammed and it's often necessary for them to hire in a loco from elsewhere to cover the Immenstadt - Oberstdorf workings. DB Bahnbau Gruppe's 218.391 was the lucky loco for several weeks in the summer of 2013 and is seen here approaching Immenstadt with ALX84171, the 14:16 from Oberstdorf to München.
