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.

The Locomotive 193 074, leased by SBB Cargo, fills much of the frame as it hauls a long freight train near Ligerz at kilometer 94.5. The train is traveling in the direction of Biel/Bienne. Despite the train’s dominance in the scene, there was still room for the well-known church of Ligerz to be included in the shot. August 24, 2026
