EU07s and EP07s at the Warszawa Wschodnia station

I frequently visit the Warszawa Wschodnia station. Almost always EU07s and/or EP07s can be seen there, ready to depart or just after arrival. They represent all variants and all livery versions.

EP07-400, May 30, 2005.

EP07-129, October 25, 2005.

EU07-124, April 10, 2006.

The same locomotive in new PKP InterCity livery, April 8, 2009.

EU07-388, April 24, 2006.

EU07-498, August 21, 2007.

EU07-484 and EP07-513, August 22, 2007.

EP07-397, September 24, 2007.

EP07-339, October 8, 2007...

... and EU07-516, photographed on the same occasion.

EU07-499, October 22, 2007.

EU07-215, March 21, 2008.

Modernized EP07-1023, photographed on the same occasion.

The same locomotive in the new PKP InterCity livery; February 24, 2010.

EP07-500, July 10, 2008.

Modernized EP07-1060…

…and EP07-1011, photographed on the same occasion.

EU07-213, September 12, 2008.

EP07-242 displays new PKP InterCity livery; January 29, 2009.

EU07-167 has not been repainted yet, but PKP InterCity logo can be seen; photo taken on the same day.

Two modernized EP07s, photographed on the same occasion: EP07-1047…

…and EP07-1066. Modernized EP07s with riffled side walls usually have attached tables with operator’s logo and service number, while in those with plain side walls both are painted directly on them. There are, however, some exceptions.

EU07s and EP07s are becoming more and more colorful. Three pictures, taken on February 10, 2009, show the diversity. This EU07-235 represents new (final?) variant of the PKP InterCity livery…

…EP07-456, not yet repainted, displays only a small PKP InterCity logo (close to the lower edge of the door)…

…while modernized EP07-1052, transferred to PKP InterCity from PKP Przewozy Regionalne, displays both logos.

EU07-153, April 8, 2009.

Several pictures taken on May 28, 2009: EP07-444, in old livery, but with the InterCity logo…

…EP07-389 in the ‘interim’ livery version…

…EP07-544 – again old variant…

…EU07-106…

…EP07-1024, modernized to the PKP Przewozy Regionalne standard, but also with a small InterCity logo…

…fresh-looking EU07-228…

…EP07-400 – yet another ‘interim’ variant (inherited from PKP Cargo)…

…and EU07-538, leased to Koleje Mazowieckie.

EP07-1004, July 3, 2009.

Three photos, taken on September 15, 2009: EP07-434…

…and EP07-1021.

EP07-351, PKP InterCity, December 11, 2009.

Arriving EP07-1013: February 24, 2010.

EP07-400, EU07-013 and EP07-434: family snapshot with three different livery versions. March 19, 2010.

Three locomotives photographed on July 9, 2010: EP07-330…

…EP07-1065…

…and EU07-134. It was a very sunny day (the hottest July in last 150 years!), and it shows.

Three locomotives and three livery variants (not all currently in use!): EU07-214, EP07-1060 and EP07-331; September 21, 2010.

EP07-534, photographed on the same occasion.

Four pictures taken on a cold day of March 1, 2011: EU07-199 and EP07-1043…

…fresh –looking EP07-1008…

…not very fresh-looking EP07-385…

…and EU07-013, an early example which represents the oldest livery variant still in use.

April 6, 2011, was much warmer. Perhaps this is why the pictures are sharper (my hand were not freezing!). EU07-109 is also an early production example (built in 1970)…

…while EU07-240 is one of the last built at Pafawag (in 1974). Four more follow…

…namely EP07-448…

…rebuilt EP07-1064 (formerly EP07-378)…

…EP07-1015 (formerly EU07-143), based in Gdynia…

…and EU07-118, leased to Koleje Mazowieckie.

EU07-145 and EU07-180, April 20, 2011.

Three more pictures, taken on the same day: EP07-362…

…EU07-146…

EP07-374, August 5, 2011…

…and three more pictures, taken on the same occasion: EP07-1018…

…EU07-145…

…and EU07-212.

EU07-148, October 4, 2011.

Modernized EP07-1047 (rebuilt from EU07-438), but no longer a ‘pudding’ – displaying PKP IC livery instead…

…and EP07-505, with EU07-109 behind. Both pictures taken on October 12, 2011.

EP07-198, January 25, 2012.

May 25, 2012: EP07-435…

…modernized EP07-1016…

…and EP07-338.

EU07-088, photographed on August 20, 2012.

Another picture taken on the same day: EU07-171, owned by PKP Cargo, but hauling a passenger train (leased to Przewozy Regionalne).

Several pictures taken on August 30, 2012: EU07-196…

…EP07-1014 (both in ‘ultimate’ PKP InterCity livery)…

…EU07-186…

…and EU07-223, both displaying new Przewozy Regionalne livery (which, needless to say, has found little favor with railway fans)…

…EP07-1002…

…and EP07-1040 (modernized, but with old headlights).

EP07-330, April 17, 2013.

Five more photos taken on the same day: modernized EP07-1042…

…EU07-077 with rectangular headlights…

…modernized EP07-1030…

…EP07-390, also with rectangular headlights…

…and modernized EP07-1058.

Next session, eight days later, was less productive, yielding only two photos: EP07-312…

…and EP07-1015.

…Four pictures taken on May 17, 2013: EU07-077 again…

…EU07-190…

…EU07-124 in new Przewozy Regionalne livery, but with no operator’s logo…

…and modernized EP07-1021.

September 3, 2013: EU07-062…

…modernized EP07-1004…

…and EU07-124 again, this time displaying full Przewozy Regionalne livery.

EU07-334, photographed on February 7, 2014.

…and EP07-382.

Four pictures taken on March 25, 2015: EP07-397…

…EP07-482…

…EP07-1069…

…and EP07-376.

Next session: June 14, 2015. Modernized EU07-1066 (ex EU07-231)…

…EU07-353…

…and EU07-043. I decided to post this photo despite its poor quality (backlight!), as the locomotive is sporting the Ecco Rail livery. Although it has been modernized, old service number has been retained.
