Sometimes a new locomotive comes out of nowhere. A big surprise to us is the delivery of a new Traxx locomotive to Ferrovia Adriatico Sangritana (FAS). The images show the new 483 032, the third of this kind for the operator, during its presentation in Lanciano.

Note that the machine sports TUA markings: Transporto Unico Abruzzo, the new authority for the whole public transport (including freight traffic operated by Sangritana) managed/funded by Region Abruzzo. The 032 also has green shields of the Region Abruzzo.

As reported before, Ferrovia Adriatico Sangritana S.r.l. (FAS) from Italy is using its E483 locomotives for transporting vans from Fossacesia to Bologna. A nice impression of such a transport. PC

BTW, within a week or so, Bombardier in Vado Ligure will deliver two new Traxx locomotives to Ferrotramviaria.

[IT] TRAXX locomotives for FAS under construction

On 21.02.2012, Ferrovia Adriatico Sangritana S.r.l. (FAS) and Bombardier signed a contract for the delivery of two TRAXX DC locomotives. During a Railcolor visit to the Bombardier works in Vado Ligure (IT), we were able to watch both units under construction. The red and grey livery of both machines is similar to the Minuetto trainsets, FAS currently operates. The locomotives also have a green painted front section. - Bombardier
