In addition to the class 103, the class 112 in beige-red livery is
most certainly one of the most elegant locomotives in the DB fleet
from the 1970s and 80s.
The DB put six E 10.1 (E 10 1239–1244) into service in May 1962
which featured special Henschel bogies designed to cope with speeds
of 160 km/h. These locomotives were intended to pull the Rheingold
trains and the locomotive-hauled trainsets now being used by the
Rheinpfeil-Gruppe. In autumn 1962, when the E 10 1265–1270
locomotives which were actually intended for these bogies became
available, the E 10 1239–1244 were deconstructed to regain their
original condition, and the E 10 1265–1270 locomotives took over
these upscale services together with the E 10 1308–1312 locomotives
which were delivered soon afterwards. At the end of the 1960s, the
last series of the E 10.12 were produced, the 112 485–504. These
locomotives were designed for Krupp bogies, which were able to
withstand speeds of 160 km/h.
In November 1994, the 114 504 (ex 112 504) was redesignated to 110
504, and put into regional service in the Stuttgart area. This
hard-working locomotive featured prominently in railway fan
photography due to its special paintwork.
