"Nightjet" design
Finely detailed design with four pantographs
Licensed ÖBB model / The Nightjet locomotive 1216 012 is now the second Taurus locomotive in this design besides the ÖBB 1116 195. A striking feature of the 1216 is the red stripe on both front ends, which is necessary for the Italian registration.
With the timetable change in December 2016, ÖBB launched the Europe-wide night train service under the brand name Nightjet. Since December 2017, Nightjet (NJ) has also been a train category. The redesign of the carriages was realised with adhesive foils. The eye-catching design is in night blue with a suggested starry sky."
