“Cato Blue (livery)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

It wasn't just locomotives that were repainted in the livery. All of the 44 Ganz-Mavag built EM/ET electric multiple units, along with one of the English Electric built DM/D EMU units were also repainted in the Cato Blue livery, with the Tranz Metro logo on the side of each car. Tranz Scenics 56-foot, 60-foot and 64-foot carriages and AG vans were also repainted in the livery, with the Tranz Scenic logo on each of side of the carriages. Several 56-foot carriages, that were used on the Wairarapa Connection until 2007, had the Tranz Metro logo on them.

It was then replaced in May 2001 when Tranz Rail introduced the Bumble-Bee livery to promote level crossing safety.^[4]

As of {{dts|2017|March}}, one DCP, ten DSCs, one EF and two TRs still operate in this livery. AG 153 can be seen being used on the Capital Connection when AG 130 is out of service. Although the two ADs, and five AGs are in storage in Otahuhu and Waltham, they are still operational and can be seen being used on special occasions.^[5]

Variations

Since the introduction of the livery in October 1995, there have been a couple of variations on several locomotives:^[6]

With the rights to Cato Blue sold to Tranz Scenic in 2001, DCP 4761 received a repaint in the livery, but with the Tranz Scenic logo in place of the Tranz Rail logo. DCPs 4559 and 4628 had the Tranz Scenic logo painted on over the Tranz Rail logo.^[10] DSC 2624 was repainted by Tranz Scenic with the cab being repainted yellow, instead of grey.^[11]
