[FREE / locomotive] Welcome the witch Husarz locomotive


The locomotive can serve as a mobile advertising banner, seen by thousands of people daily. This PKP Intercity locomotive is the latest example.

At the end of October 2024, ‘Husarz’ locomotive EU44 009 of Polish state operator PKP Intercity was given a new green and gold livery. The locomotive promotes the American musical film Wicked, now arriving in cinemas worldwide.

The livery is primarily green, representing the film’s main character, the witch Elphaba Thropp. Golden cogs and other steampunk-like details are complemented by the film’s logos and release date.
