The prototype: The E 44 class of the German Federal Railroad

The class E 44 (referred to as class 144 on the DB from 1968) was an important locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) and later the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), of which almost 200 were built between 1932 and 1954. With an output of 2,200 kW and a top speed of 90 km/h, this four-axle bogie locomotive proved its worth in both passenger and freight services. It was particularly well known for its robustness and versatility, which made it an indispensable part of rail transportation in Germany. The E 44 became an icon of the German railroad system in the first half of the 20th century.
