The new Vectron electric locomotive taken over from ELL on 16 December is a very special one \u2013 it is the first locomotive to operate in the new CargoServ look. After 25 years in which CargoServ\u2019s distinctive yellow, blue and grey locomotives have undergone an impressive development, the time was ripe for a visual relaunch.<\/p>\n

The aim was to create a fresh and modern appearance while preserving the recognisability of the existing iconic yellow locomotive design. A very successful and refreshing result, in our view. \ud83c\udfa8\u2728<\/p>\n

The new design developed by Railcolor Design will now be gradually rolled out across new and existing locomotives \u2013 perfectly timed for the 25th anniversary that LogServ and CargoServ will celebrate in 2026. LogServ and CargoServ were founded on 1 April 2001. At that time, a CargoServ limestone train from Steyrling to Linz was \u2013 during the early days of rail freight liberalisation \u2013 the very first freight train operated by a private railway undertaking on Austria\u2019s public rail network.<\/p>\n
