One more not-so-good photo, but I just wanted to show something

So... after a photo of the first private passenger company, a photo of the first private freight company.
Well... almost.
Takargo Rail, a company belonging to the Mota-Engil group, was created around this year to compete with CP-Carga on the freight transport business, who already bough three 1400-series locomotives from CP, for engineer teaching and, in the future, minor services and shunting, and an order was made to Vossloh for 14 Euro4000 locomotives. A partnership was formed with Comsa Rail, the first Iberian private railway company, and their 335.001 locomotive has been loaned to Takargo, for tests and, too, engineer teaching (honestly, is this how it's called?). Next week, perhaps, the first Euro4000 (which, apparently, will be given the number '6000';), painted in the Takargo livery (red and... red) will come to our country... and we'll see what'll happen then.

Interesting, I sometimes see electric locomotives with "European Bulls" logo in Aachen as well.

By the way, I think it's "driver training", but I'm not 100% certain there myself.

Apparently, "European Bulls" is an alliance.

Oh, and thanks for the hint... and the :+fav:, too :)

Will somebody teach me how to take better-than decent photographs?
