Re 484 011 vyjel z dílny v říjnu 2021 doplněný sloganem „Gut auf der Schiene – gut fürs Klima“ (Skvělé na kolejích – skvělé pro klima). Stejná zpráva je aplikována na opačnou stranu ve francouzském jazyce. Zobrazení mapy Švýcarska s železniční nákladní dopravou procházející středem symbolizuje velký nárůst přepravy přes Švýcarsko.
The T 478.1 and T 478.2 classes are diesel-electric general-purpose locomotives. The striking appearance of these locomotives is reflected in the nickname “Bardotka”, after the French actress Brigitte Bardot.
Three of the ten new Vectron locomotives leased to Budamar by Rolling Stock Lease already feature a special design. Each locomotive is dedicated to a famous bridge in Slovakia. Bridges were chosen as they are symbols of connectivity and significant landmarks. They are also important architectural structures, which identifies with the company motto “Architects of Logistics”.
The Chmarošský viaduct which adorns the 383 220 is located in central Slovakia on a non-electrified line with tourist summer traffic. It bridges a valley with a height of 18 metres and a length of 114 metres.
In addition to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary, the locomotives are also mainly operated in Germany and Austria as well as throughout Europe.
The Megatrailer pocket wagon “T3000” is the further development of the type T2000. The loading compartment has been adapted to the low-lying vehicle parts of the Megatrailer. However, trailers of an older design as well as interchangeable containers and containers up to a length of 7.82 m can also be loaded onto it.

The so-called “Taucherbrille” (Diver’s goggles) or “Brillenschlange” (Spectacled cobra) was developed and built at CKD in Prague. The class T 478.3 (from 1988 series 753) was supplied to the CSD from 1970 onwards, and these 408 locomotives became a familiar sight on non-electrified main lines. Due to a lack of locomotives with electrical train heating, over 100 of these engines were retrofitted from 1991. The Reko locomotives received the new class designation 750, whereby the serial number remained the same.
The class 03.10 steam locomotives remaining with the German State Railway received a new high-performance boiler construction from the year 1959 in order to achieve increased economic efficiency in daily operation. These locomotives were designated as “Rekoloks”. They were also equipped with a square-shaped mixing preheater positioned in front of the chimney. Several years later, in 1965, all the machines remaining the property of the German State Railway were converted to main oil-firing systems. The locomotives were operated in daily express train transport until most of them were withdrawn from service in the 1970s and rolled into sidings. During their years of service at the DR, they achieved in part record-breaking running performances of approximately 20,000 kilometres per month.
