DB BR140 047-2 Electric Locomotive IV

For the transport of heavy freight trains on main lines in flatland, the BZA Munich, Kraus-Maffei and SSW developed the BR E 40, which was largely the same in terms of technical structure as the E 10.1. Only the gear ratio was changed and the standard installation of an electric brake was omitted. Over 800 of the 110 km/h machines were put into service from 1957. Their power was 3,260 kW. In 1968 it was renumbered BR 140. For a long time it carried the main load of freight train traffic on electrified routes, but was also used to pull passenger trains. At the end of 2016 it was taken out of service by the DB after almost 60 years of use.
