The railroad car was painted by the Slovenian Railways and the public institution GO! 2025 - EPK ahead of the project that Nova Gorica and Italy's Gorizia will carry out in 2025.

According to Nova Gorica Mayor Samo Turel, the car promotes sustainable mobility and the events that the two cities will host next year and also sends the message that "culture and art can think outside the box and can pick new and innovative venues for its performances".

The Nova Gorica railway station, which will undergo a major renovation in the coming months, will be a key venue of European Culture Capital events. Since the project will also promote green practices, the organisers hope many visitors will arrive by train.
