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.

The Vectron locomotives are back: After ETCS problems (and the withdrawal of the Vectrons from the Simplon line), the locomotives are now back in service. Locomotives 193 055 (91 80 6139 055-1 D RCM) and 193 054 (91 80 6193 054-4 D-RCM) are seen here with a short freight train just before Villeneuve, heading towards St-Maurice. June 30, 2025 
