Legios Loco Starts Building Wagons At Nymburk

With orders for new wagons on the increase, Legios Loco recently decided to shift part of its wagon-building activities to a factory in Nymburk. This has in the past been used for locomotive repair and maintenance contracts, therefore the installations there had to be appropriately modified. To celebrate the completion of the first stage of this work, ceremony was held there on 5 April 2018, when these photos were taken. The first wagon contract to be realised at Nymburk involves 50 90-foot platform wagons, destined for GTS Rail of Italy. The first photo was taken in the No. 3 hall, and shows the assorted sub-assemblies for these wagons. The other photo was taken in the No. 1 hall, and shows, in addition to one of these finished wagons, the various other activities still in progress at Nymburk. Visible is IDS CARGO’s 749.162 receiving low-level maintenance, and on the far left, partially visible, is the tender, 412.365, belonging to ČD’s steam locomotive 414.096.
