There was no mistaking 749.260 and its strange red and blue livery. Red and blue usually go well together as the pictures of 749.265, 751.041 and 751.338 on these pages attest. For some reason the version applied to 749.260 never looked as appealing but was certainly unmistakable.
The loco was photographed climbing from Ostruzna to Ramzova with R757 on 19 August 2006.
