Historical background

The class 212 - also known as the V 100.20 - was a further development of the original DB V 100. Between 1962 and 1965, 381 units were built. With a top speed of up to 100 km/h, they were used on both main lines and steep gradients. Most of them were decommissioned by 2005, but some were later modernized and reactivated for construction trains.
