Remember that all blue Smartron, which Siemens Mobility and ELL recently delivered to Rail Cargo Carrier Bulgaria? The machine is now up and running, and as of last weekend, its appearance has changed.
For the first time, Rail Cargo Carrier is using a Smartron locomotive as part of its operations. 80 063 is the number of the locomotive which has been destined to drive the freights of the ÖBB-owned operator within Bulgaria.
