Captrain Polska received TRAXXes

On 27 August 2026, Alstom has delivered three third-generation TRAXX Universal multi-system locomotives to Captrain Polska, a rail freight operator and member of the Rail Logistics Europe group providing transport services across Europe. The locomotives are approved for use in Poland, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
The bodyshells were manufactured at Alstom’s site in Wrocław. During the warranty period, Alstom will also be responsible for the maintenance and preventive servicing of the locomotives. The locomotives are equipped with Onvia Cab on-board ETCS.
Paweł Szczapiński, CEO of Captrain Polska, said: “For more than ten years, Captrain Polska has leased TRAXX MS2 and DC2 locomotives. However, these third-generation TRAXX Universals will be the first modern locomotives purchased by our company, in line with the strategy of complementing the fleet with our own rolling stock. The fact that this platform is approved in all countries where Captrain companies within the Rail Logistics Europe group operate represents an important competitive advantage on the East-West corridor, which has been identified as a strategic priority within the group.
Starting in September, the newly acquired TRAXX MS3 locomotives will be seen operating in Poland, Germany, France and Belgium on projects coordinated by Captrain Polska. Their acquisition therefore perfectly supports both the company's local development strategy and the wider Rail Logistics Europe group strategy aimed at strengthening market competitiveness.”
At InnoTrans 2026, a TRAXX Universal for Captrain will be exhibited on outdoor tracks.
