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.

A CEV MVR GTW Be 2/6 Series 7000 disappears behind the wall at Châtelard - and in a double sense: The end of the GTW Be 2/6 at the CEV MVR is approaching, the new ABeh 2/6 Series 7500 are ready

From the platform with a bit of zooming at Dordrecht, DBC 193 313 was shot on 18 May 2019.

"STart now" -your photographer however already had begin to take pictures at Kaarst-Broicherseite, a site between the stations of Neuss Hbf and Meerbusch-Osterath where Tu-Sa massive flows of freight trrains and light runnings can be seen. Like on 12 August 2025 with TX Log 7 193 300 hauling an intermodal service at the said point, where from a public road this kind of photos can be made. 
