In 2020s, I would expect pan-European interoperability to be a certain thing, not something to be admired. Moreover, I don't think there are many (if any) Vectrons able to operate throughout the entire Europe, as there's a need for a seperate "national package" for pretty much any country the locomotive is supposed to operate in. That can include anything from a country-specific safety system to a different width of the pantograph. Don't get me wrong, it's been getting better in the past years, but Europe is still far away from having a truly interoperable rail system.

@@Inferno-hn3zx The comment I was replying to sounded like it is possible to operate Vectrons throughout the whole Europe, which is not the case. MS (multi-system) means that the locomotive can operate using different voltages, but there are other technical aspects that prevent the locomotives from being fully interoperable. Moreover, there are bureaucratic obstacles as well. The last time I checked, MS version hasn't been authorized for use in Scandinavia, while no version has been authorized in France (the fact that Alstom, one of Siemens's greatest competitors, is a French company is purely coincidental of course). Iberia and Baltic states do not even use the same track gauge. Why am I so obsessed with interoperability? Because it's one of those things that trucking has pretty much by default, but European railways haven't been able to achieve in 100 years since the UIC was founded. As I originally wrote, it is progressively getting better and most key routes no longer require locomotive changes enroute. It's still not the AAR level though, where you slap the power onto a train in Central Ohio and send it all the way to LA.
