Electric Locomotives |
The First Electric Locomotive |
In 1879, Siemens & Halske presented the first electric locomotive in the world. |
E18/19 |
Class E18 and E19 were built before the sencond world war. Their appearence and technical features were common in many points. Their looking is still very popular. |
BR 110.0 | BR 110.1 |
E10.0 was used for many cxperiments. The data from these experiments affect many locomotives which were built later. In 1954 the mass-production of E10.1 was started. E10 were renumbered to class 110. |
BR 113 |
E10.12 was based on E10.1 but faster than E10.1 and was operated for express trains like "Rheingold". They were renumbered to class 112 in 1968, and then to class 113. |
BR 141 |
Class 141 was first built in 1956. It is operated not only in main lines but also in branch lines, and hauled passenger trains and light freight trains. |
BR 140/139 |
Class 140 was first built from 1956 to 1973, and was operated for suburban traffic and freight trains. Class 139 is much in common with class 140. |
BR 103.0 | BR 103.1 |
Probably class 103 is the most popular locomotive in Germany, because
of its fast run and good-lookins. In 1965, 4 locos of E03 were built. From 1968, E03 was called 103.0. In 1970, the mass-production of 103.0 was started. 103s which were mass-produced were called 103.1. |
BR 151 |
From 1973 locomotives of class 151 were produced for heavy fright trains. |
BR 181.2 |
Class 181.2 adapt to two electric systems, and can connect to France and Luxembourg. |
BR 111 |
Locomotives of class 111 are operated for many types of passenger trains. |
BR 120 |
Class 120 is an epoch-making locomotive. But it has some faults. At first 4 locomotives of class 120.0 were built, and then the mass-production of class 120 was started and 60 locomotives of class 120.1 were built. |
BR 155 |
Class 155 is powerful and fast, and operated mainly for heavy goods trains. |
BR143 |
Class 143 is a standard locomotive which can used for both passenger trains and goods trains. |
BR112 |
Both DB and DR ordered many locomotives os class 112. And they have been used for fast passenger trains. |
BR101 |
Class 101 is the successor of class 103 and is hauling InterCity, EuroCity and InterRegio. BR101 List / BR101 Photo Gallery |
