With their distinctive construction, the locomotives of the E 94 series were one of the most famous electric locomotives in Germany. With a sensible construction, it was also proven that speeds of up to 100 km/h could be achieved with a rigid frame drive. The power output of the E 94 was a respectable 3,240 kW, with an acceleration performance of even 3,900 kW. The remaining locomotives after the war were disrespectfully referred to as "Iron Pigs" by the DR.
