The prototype: The class 143

At the beginning of the 1980s, the electrification of the DR route network made the development of a powerful electric locomotive necessary. The class 243 was developed from the test locomotive 212 001-2 and became a universal locomotive for the German State Railroad. With over 600 units, it covered a wide range of applications from regional trains to freight traffic.

After reunification, the class 243 locomotives were incorporated into the Deutsche Bahn AG fleet and continued as the class 143. It remained a reliable workhorse for numerous purposes.

The railroad company: Deutsche Bahn AG

In Era V, Deutsche Bahn AG symbolized the transition and integration of the East and West German railroad systems. The class 143 was an essential part of this period and demonstrated the versatility and efficiency of the modern railroad.

Era V (1990-2006) marked the beginning of a new era in German rail transport. The class 143 locomotives represent this change and the increasing standardization of rail transport.
