The jubilee locomotive from Siemens’ Munich Allach plant got a small addition to its design, which was made by the RailcoloOnTrack duo.

Siemens Vectron 6193 094 was the star of a celebration when it rolled out of the Munich plant as the 23,000th locomotive manufactured there. Yet, it was not made for parades but for pulling heavy freight trains. Railpool, the locomotive owner, leased it to RTB Cargo, which added its logos to the front of the unique design and put it straight into operations.
