The 1144 040, also known as the modern nostalgia locomotive, is the last locomotive in this class still bearing the blood orange original design with black frame and ÖBB logo. It was put into service in the year 1979 as the 1044.40, and was equipped in 2010 with a push-pull operation and LED headlights before being redesignated as the 1144 040. However, the number 1144.40 is featured on the front. This locomotive still offers reliable service in this livery today.
