ČD will be more colorful, it will return the earlier paint to some machines. The vote on the form of Brejlovec has begun

Instead of the corporate blue design, the spray will be in one of the original color combinations.

Czech Railways will deviate from corporate colors for some older locomotives and will restore the machines’ painting from earlier times. Selected locomotives will be dressed in a retro-view as part of major repairs, the first in line is Brejlovec 754,074. Voters will decide on the form of locomotives on the ČD Facebook page.

“We like the idea of ​​railway fans to restore at least some of the color solutions for older locomotives in normal operation. That’s why we agreed to give them a chance to participate in the selection. “ said the head of Czech Railways Ivan Bednárik.

Instead of the corporate blue design, the spray will be in one of the original color combinations, and any symbols for the time period will replace the ČD logo. According to Czech Railways, there will be no increase in costs due to the application of retrolabels.

“Some vehicles have used a variety of different color solutions in the past. This was typical for Brejlovce or Asa, where we can also find color combinations characteristic of individual depots. Legendary are, for example, the Pilsen Brejlovci with lightning on the side. Even for this variant, fans can now vote, “ added Bednárik.

The original historical paint is not a complete novelty on Czech Railways vehicles. For example, the 111.011 shunting locomotive has been running in green “livery” since the early 1980s, the 362.001 locomotive has an orange prototype design, 151,023 runs in green-cream lacquer with a small orange reflective stripe, or 854,021 in the historic Vindobony paint.
