Modern but also Classic – this is the message that the latest livery design of Vectron 193 276 conveys. The new appearance of the locomotive, which is owned by ELL and operated by IDS Cargo, was revealed yesterday.
Czech freight operator IDS Cargo is known for its passion for shiny, repainted classic locomotives. The IDS electric fleet includes Czech Skoda classics such as series 242 and the unique 140 042, as well as two modernised Belgian electrics – CZ Loko EffiLiner 3000 no. 365 001 and 365 003.
