At the end of 2020, Austrian operator Wiener Lokalbahnen Cargo (WLC) introduced a new “Excellence in transport” design to its Vectron 1193 980. Now, a EuroSprinter follows with a slightly different theme.
We thank Dominik Pauli for sharing his nice picture with our readers.
1216 950 of WLC is sporting a brand new livery design by Loc&More. On 07.02.2021, the shiny locomotive was spotted at the Wien Freudenau/Rennbahn terminal. This is what it looks like:
About the livery
The slogan “Excellence in transport” remains. And the well known ivory base has been substituted by a plain white background again. However, unlike the Vectron which we saw previously, the livery here has a more direct message, featuring a railway map a pen, and a compass. WLC’s logos are have been used for the creation of a pattern with different transparencies.
