[FREE / locomotive] The new Vectrons for TX Logistik – 7193 303 turns gold

During the Transport Logistik expo in Munich in 2023, Siemens, FS Italiane Group and its subsidiary TX Logistik signed a 40-locomotive deal. The total order amounts to EUR 300 million. 14 months later, the first machines have entered service. 7193 300 got extra texts, for 303, the operator goes all-in:

The locomotive’s theme translates to ‘treasure hunting’ as finding new locomotive drivers is genuinely a difficult quest these days.

Also good to mention is that the new TX Logistik machines also come to the Netherlands. Noud Graus caught the gold piece in Blerick last weekend together with a BoxXpress locomotive:
