Product Features and Details
Road no. E 69 03
The diverging power system which is only 5 kV and 16 Hz forced the E 69 series locomotives to have to stick to their regular route from Murnau to Oberammergau. In 1954 the route was converted to the normal DB power system. The change-over made to the locomotives in 1955 at the repair workshops Freimann to the conventional power system of the DB meant that they could be used more liberally. The E 69 03 was therefore able to be used in Rosenheim and Heidelberg for shunting purposes. At that time it was painted in regulatory green to comply with the DB electric locomotives.
