Indispensable new construction classic – The belief was almost universal that the German Railroad, Inc.'s current new motive power purchases had completely displaced all of the new construction locomotives of the previous German Federal Railroad era. Yet then it was demonstrated that the proven, almost 40 year old class 111 units could still hold their own in today's railroad with good maintenance and a current paint scheme. These new construction classics were placed into service starting in 1974 and it is hoped they will remain several more years on the DB AG's motive power roster
