E-locomotive E60 DB, Ep.IIIa

With the electrification of the railway lines in Bavaria in the 1920s, the Reichsbahn was also looking for electric shunting locomotives for its stations around Munich. As a condition for the development of the new locomotives, as many parts of the E91 and E52 as possible were used to make the maintenance more economical. From 1927, AEG and SSW delivered the E60 to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in three series. The locomotives were initially stationed in Munich, Rosenheim and Garmisch. Due to its exterior with the long and low stem and the driver's cab at the end, it was also popularly called the iron. At the time of delivery, the E60 had a HIIs2D pantograph with two grinding pieces, which was exchanged for an SBS 10 when it started service with the Deutsche Bundesbahn. In 1958/59 the locomotives were rebuilt and the most striking change was the addition of the shunting platforms at the fronts. It was not until 1983 that the last BR 160 of BW Heidelberg was retired.
