The prototype of the 114 039 electric locomotive

The 114 039-1 locomotive belongs to the 114 class, a further development of the 112.0 class of Deutsche Bahn. These locomotives were originally developed for high-quality passenger transportation and have primarily been used by DB Regio since the redesignation in 2000. The 38 locomotives of the 114 series were primarily designed for use with double-decker push-pull trains, where they can reach speeds of up to 160 km/h. They are used on regional and local lines throughout Germany.

With its unmistakable design and reliability, the class 114 has played a decisive role in shaping the modern rail history of Deutsche Bahn. The prototype of the 114 039-1 runs regularly on regional services and is particularly impressive due to its efficient operation and high tractive power.
