In 1994, the DB AG released 2 BR 232 locomotives to the Kaliningrad railway. They were put to use there, but only sporadically, and in 1999 both locomotives returned to Germany. They had been acquired by the Bahngesellschaft Waldhof Mannheim (railway company). After a refurbishment by the Gemeinder company in Mosbach, which also installed a Caterpillar engine, they received a white/blue coat of paint and were used to pull the BASF lime trains, among others. Later, they were used by the Eisenbahnen und Verkehrsbetriebe Elbe - Weser (EVB) between Hamburg and Bremen. After a new general inspection in Neustrelitz, the locomotive received the number 232 850-8 (92 80 1232 850-8 D-EKO) and is now used by the EKO transportation company of the steel manufacturer Arcelor-Mittal, in an attractive silver/orange paint finish.
