DRG-electric locomotive E 60 Clean locomotives for shunting on electrified railway stations was the motto of the DRG mid-1920s in Bavaria. Especially for the vast tracks of Munich Stations she ordered two electric locomotives in 1926, to use this smoke-free mode even when shunting can. For the sake of a single spare parts inventory called the DRG to take as many components of the just acquired E 52 and E 91. From the E 91 Winterthur angular rod drive came with a jackshaft and the three Kuppelradsätzen. The drive power provided a twin engine, who has 91 was applied also in the E 52 or E. Originally, the locomotives had a pantograph special construction with two widely spaced contact strips, to bridge breaks in the catenary better. The first two machines were put into service in 1927 as the E 60 01 and 02. Until June 1934 followed in several small series, the E 60 03-14, which on other Bavarian stations were used in part. In addition to the shunting could see the E 60 before Nahgüterzügen and handovers. Their distinctive design with the two stems, the rear and the front elongated relatively short, helped them quickly nicknamed Iron. After the annexation of Austria came from 1938, some machines the port area Innsbruck, Kufstein and Wörgl. All e 60 survived the war without being overly heavy damage and remaining in Austria came under a Loktausches 1945/46 to Bavaria. 1957-58 DB did the locomotives thoroughly worked up and modernize it. So they got among others Rangierbühnen over the buffers, additional windows and new wiring. By 1964, the E (1968: 160) drove 60 only again in Bavaria, Heidelberg then joined as the new location. First performed in 1977 and withdrawals from service with the secondment of 160,012 in June 1983, the shunting with electric locomotives on the DB was also completed. As a museum locomotives remained 160 009 010 and 012 receive.
