When the series 1041 was build, it was the first time for the company Simmering-Graz-Pauker AG that it had been involved in the development of locomotives. The companies AEG, BBC, ELIN and SSW signed responsible for the electrical part. From 1952, 25 locomotives were delivered to the Austrian Federal Railways.
The new locomotives hauled the train of the American armed forces "Mozart" from Vienna to Salzburg and carried the flag of the United States of America.
After the decommissioning of the locomotive, the Verein ARGE 1041.15 acquired it, converted it as far as possible to its original technical state and uses it since then for nostalgia trips.
