From 1971, the German Federal Railway put 398 series locomotives of the class 218 into service, and used them to haul both passenger and freight trains. They achieved a top speed of 140 km/h with a power output of 1,840 kW and were used on most non-electrified routes.
The class 218 has included several colour variations over the years. The first 218s were still delivered in the purple-red colour scheme that was typical for diesel locomotives. From 1975 the locomotives' exteriors were painted in ocean blue/beige.
