[design] České dráhy unveils Xmas Vectron locomotive

There is a fierce Christmas loco competition this year. Some days ago Modellbahnexperten, Lokomotion, and Railpool unveiled 6193 146 in a dazzling special Christmas livery realized by Railcolor Design. Now it is time for ČD to present one similar unit in a special design:

The Czech Railways (České dráhy) locomotive 6193 022 has been adorned with a festive Christmas livery just in time for the holiday season.

The locomotive now features a white base with a vibrant red ribbon design and a bow, creating the appearance of a wrapped gift. One side showcases illustrations of gift parcels, including one shaped like a steam locomotive, while the other bears the message, “We bring you the most precious gifts.”

Christian Tscharre captured the striking holiday-themed Vectron hauling the Eurocity 458 at Leipzig Hbf station.
