Translated Description from PIKO: New in 2019 - After the Austrian Federal Railways (BB) were able to operate their most important long-distance routes with 120 km / h top speed and electrified again in the 1950s, the need arose for a modern electric locomotive, which has a top speed of 130 km / h should reach at a power of 3000 kW. Delivered for the first time in 1955, the machines were immediately put into express train service, where they performed well on the west and south tram lines as well as on the Semmering. At the beginning, by far the fastest electric locomotives in Austria Its proverbial reliability soon became one of the most important pillars of the high-quality passenger train service. By 2000, the BB still had 18 copies, and only in 2003 were the last machines retired. Nine locomotives have survived to this day.
