History
Only one unit was built at the Pafawag factory in 1997 and as a prototype at that. Until 2005, ED73-001 was operated by Wielkopolski Zakład Przewozów Regionalnych (Greater Poland Regional Transport). Due to it not being technically sound, the unit was moved to a siding. In mid-2006 ED73-001 was sent to Dolnośląski Zakład Przewozów Regionalnych (Lower Silesian Regional Transport) in Wrocław where it underwent general repairs.
ED73-001 was repainted into its original burgundy and yellow livery, and in January 2008 was actively used on Lower Silesian routes. From February 2010 this EMU is used on Łódź - Warsaw route.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
