@train-of-the-day

An image of a white train with yellow stripes of different shades on top of each other descending to the bottom of the doors from each side. The sign on the front of the train reads: "R 78531 KOSTRZYH" and the track number is SA137-005A. Behind the other end of the train there is a (presumably) signaling tower. In the foreground, part of a platform is visible, in the background, part of another platform behind the train can be seen, along with trees and bushes with sparse leaves and buds a little farther away.
Train of the day is: Polregio SA137/138 / Newag 220M/221M! ( X )

The 220/221M is a series of low-floor, open-coach, 2 and 3 section diesel multiple units designed for suburban and long distance passenger transit. 14 units total were made, 9 220Ms and 4 221Ms ordered for Polregio and 1 221M for Koleje Śląskie.

Can't wait to have this bad boy do one of the following and run properly:

  • sit for 10 20 21 days without reaching 60 km/h for at least 3 minutes
  • drive into a train yard operated by one of Newag's competitors in train maintenance: PESA Bydgoszcz, SPS Mieczkowski, Fablok-Martech
  • reach 10^6 km on the odometer
  • set the date to 21-30 Nov or 21-31 Dec

Wait, fuck, wrong Newag train. It can probably actually do that without issues. But these ones couldn't
