Six more Vectron locomotives are ready to be handed over to Serbia Cargo. This article shows their transit across Germany, Austria, and Hungary, which took place last week.
We thank Marcus Schrödter, Andreas Kepplinger, Herbert Pschill, Prohászka Csaba, Norbert Tilai and Dani Szabó for sharing their pictures with us and making this ‘Railcolor community’ report possible.
At the beginning of the year, the news broke out: Serbia Cargo doubled its Vectron MS order to a total of 16 locomotives. Last week we saw the third batch of red-blue-white Vectrons on their way from Siemens’ factory in Munich-Allach, to Hegyeshalom in Hungary. The exact numbers are 193 911 to 914 plus 917 and 918. They are all part of the second batch of 8 Vectrons, equipped with the A26 package. And yes, there are two more to go: 915 and 916.
