In November 2014, we received the news that the Wiener Lokalbahnen Cargo, a loyal operator if Siemens locomotives (both ES 64 U2 and 1216 series) since 2002, ordered one Vectron locomotive from Siemens. On 17.12.2014, the 1193 980 designated electric had its maiden run.

Ready for its maiden run, the all new Siemens 21934 - WLC 1193 980. Ordered recently, now already finished, a big advantage of the production method of Siemens.

Like expected, the machine has the well-known ivory-blue livery of WLC. New are the logos. It is the first WLC electric locomotive with the new WLC logos. 1193 980 is the second Vectron locomotive with an Austrian NVR number. For now it is homologated for Germany and Austria. - MR

[AT] WLC orders one Vectron locomotive

We made our own impression of a Vectron locomotive in the livery of WLC. It has no relation to Siemens nor the operator.

Wiener Lokalbahnen Cargo GmbH has ordered one Vectron locomotive from Siemens. Further details are yet unknown. it will be delivered soon. - Siemens

Meanwhile, WLC has a new logo on its website, so interesting to see what livery the locomotive will get. Or maybe a promotional livery will be applied honoring one of WLC's customers, like was done with WLC 1216 954 and 955:
