Since then, this ELL-owned locomotive has switched owners, and a replacement has been found in the form of 7193 625. However don\u2019t worry: the design has returned in full glory on this new locomotive!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ELL 7193 625 is also special in itself, as its the first Vectron procured by the Polish rolling stock leasing company ELL Polska Asset, a subsidiary of ELL. The big difference here being that it has been financed by the Polish National Reconstruction Plan, implemented by the Centre for EU Transport Projects. The new locomotive will be used primarily to connect transport corridors between Asia and intermodal terminals in Italy.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Like in the previous iteration, you see Marco Polo from Venice and his famous journey to the \u2018Orient\u2019. The locomotive depicts the route via Turkey and Mongolia all the way to Beijing. On the left, you see Venice in a 13th-century fresco, and on the right, you see a 13th-century Chinese ink drawing of a landscape. Marco Polo is famous for his book \u2018Il Millione\u2019 about his (for that time) unique journey in 1271-1295, during which he visited Persia, China, and India. The big difference in this new iteration, is the new logos Bahnoperator has recently introduced, as well as a new name: &#8216;Emilia&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><em>Siemens has also shared these beautiful pictures of the freshly wrapped locomotive that we wouldn\u2019t want to withhold from you:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148124\"
