Electric locomotive 243 822-4 of the Erfurter Bahnservice GmbH.
Version featuring the White Lady design
The White Lady is an iconic nickname associated with the classic East German class 143/243 locomotives. It was originally given to the white-and-red-painted prototype of the series, 212 001 (later renumbered 243 001). This distinctive livery briefly reappeared on locomotive 143 117, and now, for the third time, it has returned, this time on locomotive 243 822 (also known as 143 822), which is currently owned by the Karsdorf vehicle works.
