First Effiliner delivered to Austrian carrier
The number of rail service providers operating Effiliner 1600 locomotives made by Czech manufacturer CZ Loko was recently boosted by the addition of the Austria-based Rail Cargo Group (RCG).
RCG representatives have just accepted the first of two such locomotives in Ceska Trebova. The second will follow this month (May). The freight railway's subsidiaries in Czechia and Slovakia will deploy the units.
In Czechia, the traction will primarily pull freight trains in the Czech-Polish border area and on the first and second transit rail corridor to Břeclav. In Slovakia, the Effiliner will mainly haul container trains to terminals in Bratislava and Zilina. (ben)
