The TRAXX 2 represents a consistent further development of the TRAXX classes. The most obvious difference of these locomotives is the revised locomotive body. The change took place in order to comply with the more stringent safety standards with regard to crash resistance. These engines are easily recognisable due to the folded-down corners on the locomotive body.
The TRAXX 2 has also proven its worth in passenger service: A third series of the class 146, which has been delivered since 2005, also has the modifications introduced on the class 185.2, and is classified as class 146.2. These engines mainly pull double-decker trains.
