Wild livery - is is actually a "wrap"? Somewhat odd to have a white message on a mostly white background, but it's appealing, non-the-less. On a side observation - with four national languages spoken in Switzerland, how do they determine which one to use on their trains? In this case, looks like even English made the cut, assuming "Fans" is uniquely an English word.

The locomotive was already designed in this way with foils at the end of 2014. The photos of 50000 people who sent their picture to the RhB are actually printed on the locomotive. The addresses on this page are "Grazia" and "Grazie", on the other "Danke" and "Thanks" (Romansh, Italian, German, English). The english word "fan" for a follower is widely known and used in german too.
