Electric locomotive 193 759 of the Dutch State Railways.
■ ELL-Vectron leased to the NS
■ With long rain gutter
■ Used for the international goods traffic
■ Headlights and tail lights can be switched with a DIP-switch
The Dutch State Railways has leased two Vectron multi-system locomotives from the company European Locomotive Leasing (ELL) for Nightjet services from Amsterdam to Vienna (and back). The powerful locomotives can reach a top speed of up to 200 km/h in international passenger traffic. So the Dutch capital is once again connected to the European night train network. The NS, DB and ÖBB mutually operate the trains. That means that travelers will have a comfortable and inexpensive alternative to air travel on these routes in the future.
