German Reichsbahn E 95
Germany 1927 6 produced
The total of six E 95 were designed to haul coal trains weighing 2,200 tonnes from Silesia to Dresden or Berlin. The development of the nose-suspended motors now allowed to build a locomotive of this power class with this type of drive. Thanks to the carrying axles, they were able run at speeds sufficient for passenger trains. On the other hand, the locomotives accelerated coal trains weighing up to 2,568 tonnes to 60 km/h during test runs. After the Second World War, they came to the Soviet Union as reparations and were later refurbished again in the GDR after their return. However, increasing problems led to their being phased out by 1969.
