Electric locomotive class 144 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn.

■ Perfectly matches the "Silberlinge"
■ For the first time with running number for push-pull trains

From the electric locomotive series E 44, almost 200 locomotives were put into service in the period between 1932 to 1954. The power output of the 4-axled bogie locomotives was around 2,200 kW and the maximum speed was 90 km/h. The locomotive hauled passenger trains as well as goods trains and therefore quickly earned the nickname "girl Friday". Some locomotives were equipped with push-pull train control and were therefore used in suburban traffic in metropolitan areas.
