In a highly competitive industry such as rail freight operations, companies want to stand out and livery design is a great tool for that. Last week, Trenitalia-owned TX Logistik (TXL) came up with the second edition of its distinctive ‘offroad’ Vectron.

Offroad Vectrons #1 and #2 were caught together in tandem just a day later by Klaus Seidl. This colorful combination catches the eye, especially under the right lighting conditions:
