diesel locomotive BR 119 DR Ep.IV

Since the GDR was allowed to build only locomotives up to 2000 HP through the contracts of the CMEA, the contract was awarded in 1974 to the "Lokomotivfabrik 23 August" in Bucharest. After the delivery of two designs, the construction of diesel-hydraulic locomotives BR 119 began in 1978. The locomotives equipped with two machines and electric traction heating were initially quite susceptible to faults and were not very reliable. The 120 km / h fast cars could later be used even in the passenger train service by means of multiple conversions and the replacement of engines and transmissions.
