MÁV 480-002-9 Tamási Áron is a repaint on the Bombardier TRAXX BR185.2 electric locomotive operated by the Hungarian National Railway MÁV. The locomotive was delivered to MÁV in 2011 in a classic blue-yellow scheme with a yellow stripe and it’s purpose was to replace the V43 series in domestic intercity services. MÁV-Start debuted this new livery on the TRAXX MAV 480-002 in June of 2022 putting an end to the pervious “IEC2021” livery. This new design is celebrating the 125th birthday of one of the greatest and most read Hungarian writers, the author of the Ábel trilogy, the Kossuth Prize-winning Székely-Hungarian writer Tamási Áron. The white-blue design features his face, his name, Székely symbols and the landscape of Farkaslaka (Lupeni), the author’s native village in Transylvania.

 

The locomotive’s very first journey led to Transylvania, pulling a special train to Şumuleu Ciuc (or Csíksomlyó) which is part of a Catholic pilgrimage to this little town in Romania, after which it returned in Hungary and started traveling on the country’s electrified lines. In recent years, following a deal between the Romanian National Railway (CFR) and MÁV, a number of TRAXX locomotives enter Romania and continue their journey to Bucharest and even Constanta, without changing locomotives at the border, which saves up precious time in the tight schedule of these services.
