The prototype of the Piko BR E410 electric locomotive

The class E410, later known as the class 184, was developed at the end of the 1960s to avoid time-consuming locomotive changes at the borders of Europe. Its ability to run under different overhead line voltages in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg made it a pioneer locomotive in European rail transportation.

Initially, the BR E410 connected Germany and Belgium with journeys between Cologne and Liège. After its relocation to Saarbrücken, connections between Trier, Luxembourg and France were added. The locomotives were also used in front of express trains in Saarland and the Palatinate. Two of the five locomotives built are now preserved in museums and can be viewed in the DB Museum Koblenz-Lützel and the German Museum of Technology in Berlin.
