With the Class 1042, the Austrian Federal Railways began procuring a modern and powerful universal locomotive from 1963 onwards for the increasingly electrified rail network. The four-axle locomotives with the Bo’Bo’ wheel arrangement proved their worth hauling both passenger and freight trains and became a familiar sight on Austria’s railway lines for decades. Built by Simmering-Graz-Pauker at its Floridsdorf works, these locomotives were designed for a top speed of 130 km/h and had a continuous hourly output of around 3,560 kW. Within the class, the 1042 060 also marked the end of the 1042.01 to 1042.60 number range. It remained in regular ÖBB service for a long time, thus embodying that generation of Austrian electric locomotives which played a decisive role in shaping the transition to modern electric rail operations. With the advent of newer generations of traction vehicles, the Class 1042 locomotives increasingly lost their traditional areas of operation from the 1990s onwards and were eventually gradually phased out.
