 Welcome
to the Electric
Locomotives used in Germany
Page! Most of the locomotives have either German or Swiss
classification.
Below you will find all the
types in use and given some time also their technical details. There
are also be pages for the Diesel
Locomotives, Electric Multiple
Units and Diesel Multiple Units.
Class 101 * Class 110 * EG * ME 146 * Class 146 * Class 146.2 * Class 182 * Class 185 * Swiss Class 482 * Swiss Class 485 * Class / Baureihe 101 - Deutsche Bahn  A real powerhouse for its time in 1990s the class 101 number 093 awaits for next assignment in Karlsruhe. The class 101 locomotives seem to be incredibly popular sight in todays Germany! Picture by Ilkka Siissalo.
