The locomotives of the 2143 class were built between 1964 and 1977
and operated on non-electrified main and branch lines, particularly
in eastern Austria. They were commonly used for both passenger and
goods trains. A total of 77 locomotives were delivered to the ÖBB
by the Simmering-Graz-Pauker-Werke.
A large part of the 2143 class locomotive stock consisted of the
third production series, which was further divided into subclasses.
The so-called 3a class included running numbers 2143.34 – 43, while
the 3b class covered 2143.44 – 70. All locomotives in the third
series share several common features: the frame is straight and,
unlike the first series, not cranked. The areas around the driver's
cab doors have long rain gutters, and the door windows are framed
in metal. Likewise, the fuel-filling areas were redesigned and have
different dimensions.
