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 (ex DB) WRS 193 302 (91 80 6193 302-7 D-WRSCH) is standing in Lausanne with a long train of tank cars before continuing its journey. According to the markings, the locomotive is approved for operation in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium, although the voltage ratings listed in practically the same location are unclear to me: 3000 V, 1500 V, 1500 V 50 Hz, and 1000 V 16.7 Hz. Unfortunately, the locomotive and its train were positioned very awkwardly for photography, mainly due to the length of the train. Photo location: Platform 4, the railing of which can be seen on the right of the image. January 5, 2026 
