Portal Combat

            The run-down of class 240 'Laminatka' locomotives in the state carrier's ranks has been gathering pace for the last couple of years with the remaining locomotives having had a working life of over 50 years and no heavy repairs being undertaken, some being parked up on the basis of sheer accumulation of kms. However over the last few years these and the related 230 locomotives have proved quite popular with private european rail operators so they may be around one way for another on Slovak rails for a while yet.

A visit to the loco depot near Vajnory recently yielded 14 examples of the venerable machine, as the site appears part working ZSSK Cargo depot and part locomotive graveyard it was hard to tell precisely what was there to stay and what was around for another reason but I was able to establish that 6 laminátky have been there since at least 2022 and some of those possibly a lot longer.  

To the right of the staring contest, missing the portal-like window, is long-term resident 240 090 and on the left is May 2022 arrival 240 067.
