[CH] After Silver comes Gold: The newest ‘Piercer’ design for SBB Cargo International

On 16.08.2023, SBB Cargo International presented Railpool’s 193 110 as the brand new ‘Goldpiercer’. This design celebrates the 300th locomotive delivered to Railpool.

Railpool is rapidly taking delivery of new Vectrons, a part of which has already been rented out to SBB Cargo International. The first two locomotives received their Railcolor-designed wrap in May of 2023 and are known as the ‘Silverpiercers’.

To commemorate 193 110 being the 300th locomotive delivered to Railpool, the company partnered with SBB Cargo International and Railcolor Design to create a unique ‘Goldpiercer’ design. The artwork on the sides is reminiscent of the previous ‘Nightpiercer’ designs, be it with gold accents in multiple places. In line with the rest of the ‘Silverpiercer’ series, it has been named after a famous lake in the Alps: Zugersee.

On 15.08.2023, Daniel Schärer was already present in Cologne (DE) to catch the brand-new locomotive in a fitting Golden evening light:
