Locomotives
2143
With the acquisition of four class 2143 diesel locomotives from the Austrian Federal Railways by the Swietelsky company in 2004, the foundation stone for the establishment of RTS was laid. The locomotives - production numbers "SGP 1965/18296", "SGP 1966/18343", "SGP 1966/18345" and "SGP 1970/18400" - were completely overhauled and equipped with new, more powerful engines, giving the locomotives over 1,450 kW ( 1,970 PS), compared to 1,115 kW (1,495 PS) of the ÖBB locomotives. The service weight of the locomotives increased from 65 to 68 tons. Two of these locomotives, which are registered under the UIC numbers 93 81 2143 005-3 and 93 81 2143 007-9 until 2011, were incorporated into the founding of the RTS company in 2006 and are in regular use, mainly for construction sites.
1116 and 1216

In 2006 the first electric locomotive of the " ES64U2 " series (factory number "Siemens 2002/20573"), which is identical to the locomotive of the ÖBB series "1116", was rented from Dispolok . This locomotive has already been used to intervene in conventional transport operations.
However, RTS wanted its own vehicles, which is why the lease was terminated in 2007 and two locomotives of the type " ES64U4 " (factory numbers "Siemens 2007/21113" and "Siemens 2007/21123") were acquired, which were sold under the UIC numbers 91 81 1216 901-9 and 91 81 1216 902-7 are approved until 2012. The two locomotives are identical to the locomotives of the ÖBB series “1216” (“Taurus”).
2016
Also in 2007, with the purchase of an " ER 20 " (factory number "Siemens 2007/21153"), another, even more powerful diesel locomotive from RTS was put into service. This locomotive, which was approved until 2012 under the UIC number 92 81 2016 905-9, is identical in construction to the ÖBB traction vehicles of the series "2016" ("Herkules"). Since 2009, RTS has also had 2 new traction vehicles of the 2016 series.
221
In 2007, V270.07 and V270.08 (ex 221 134 and 221 105 of the DB) were rebuilt for EBW Cargo, using MTU 12V 4000 R41 engines . Both locomotives are now in use at Rail Transport Service. In August 2015, the road number 221.134 was written on this locomotive.
Other locomotives
Swietelsky also procured other traction vehicles, which, however, have not been used by RTS or have no network approval. Six diesel locomotives of the ÖBB series 2067 (2067 017-0, 2067 023-8, 2067 060-0, 2067 062-6, 2067 083-2 and 2067 091-5), one locomotive of the DB series 332 (332 068 ) and three CFR locomotives (33 53 392 3 036, 33 53 392 3 066 and 33 53 392 3 068).
