It is the first time we could combine the Bahnoperator design for a special theme. On each side, you see Marco Polo from Venice and his famous journey to the ‘Orient’. The locomotive depicts the route via Turkey and Mongolia all the way to Beijing. On the left, you see Venice in a 13th-century fresco, and on the right, you see a 13th-century Chinese ink drawing of a landscape. Marco Polo is famous for his book ‘Il Millione’ about his (for that time) unique journey in 1271-1295, during which he visited Persia, China, and India.
