The Taurus No. ES 64 U2-009 for MRCE (Mitsui Rail Capital Europe), Inc. has been running since June 30, 2014 with the decoration for the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Pan-European Picnic. The locomotive can be seen in Austria and Germany (currently it is pulling passenger trains on the DB between Berlin and Hamburg). The same locomotive for the GYSEV/Raaber Railroad, Inc. AG (road number 91 43 0470 505-8) was presented in Sopron on August 18, 2014. Since then it has been pulling passenger and freight trains in Hungary and Austria. We have thus achieved our plan: to carry the message of the anniversary with the same motif on the locomotives in all three countries participating in this historic process (in Hungary, Austria, and Germany) – EUROPE WITHOUT BORDERS. These historic events began with the Pan-European Picnic and have continued with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. The locomotive decoration project was realized due to the initiative of Loc & More, Inc. and is based on its plans (graphic artist: Péter Tranta). The costs of the project were born by GYSEV, Inc. and Loc & More, Inc. – with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Foundation for a Civic Hungary (PMA).
