(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.

One operator, one loco number, two locos: RheinCargo has done it with Vectron number 193 106. One is 6 193 106, formerly with KRE and a nice advertising loco and the other is seen here: 7 193 106,rented from Alpha Trains and hauling a tank train through Neuwied towards Cologne. The Vectrons are the same type, but since there are 2,000+ X4E four system Vectron electrics, the EVR numbering scheme had to deploy the 7 after the six to accommodate all Vectrons.
