At the end of 2018, ZSSK Cargo applied its corporate livery on a Vectron MS locomotive for the first time. The state freight operator is hiring 10 such locomotives from S Rail Lease. One by one, 383 201-210 got this design during the past months (only 383 210 still needs to be confirmed). Let’s pay them a visit to see how these are doing in Slovakia.
