Rather short-lived was the deployment of Vectrons on coal trains by DB Cargo, since the locos were a bit ti light on departure of these heavy trains.

(ID 50723)


Rather short-lived was the deployment of Vectrons on coal trains by DB Cargo, since the locos were a bit ti light on departure of these heavy trains. At times, the train was started but did not move a single meter due to slip althought the wheels were running up till the moment, the on-board software systems registered a speed in excess of the Vmax of 140 km/h due to the wheels rotating that fast -whilst the train still hadn't moved. DBC 193 320 hauled such a train on 30 July 2019 through Tilburg Oude Warande.

In rather unfavorable lighting, the 193 057 rented by SBB passes through Roche VD station with a freight train; on the left, the restored waiting shelter and on the right, somewhat obscured by modern equipment, the also excellently refurbished station building in chalet style.

After the test shots in Roche VD, I drove to Lake Geneva and unpacked my large heavy camera, because as long as it still works, I am reluctant to do without this reliable camera (especially for photo tours). At a well-known photo spot near Villeneuve with Château de Chillon in the background, the 193 062 (UIC 91 80 6193 062-7 D-RCM) rented by SBB Cargo passes with a short freight train heading towards Valais.
