Passenger services in the Allgäu were revamped in December 2007 with Arriva taking over an extended Alex franchise covering München - Lindau services in addition to the Oberstdorf trains. Along with the new franchise came a smart new livery and new class 223 locos.
223.062 descended the bank from Günzach at Ellenberg with a combined ALX86206 to Lindau and ALX706 to Oberstdorf on 22 August 2008.
