Comment: The DRG E 60 Electric Locomotive "Clean locomotives for switching work at electrified stations" was the DRG's slogan in the Mid-Twenties in Bavaria. It ordered two electric locomotives in 1926 especially for the extended track layouts of the Munich stations in order to be able to use this smoke-free method of operation in switching work too. The DRG stipulated the use of as many components of the newly purchased E 52 and E 91 as possible in the interests of standardized spare parts inventory. The Winterthur diagonal rod drive with a jackshaft and three coupled wheel sets came from the E 91. The drive performance was provided by a double motor that was also used on the E 52 or E 91. Originally, the locomotives had a special design pantograph with two widely spaced contact strips to better bridge separation points in the catenary. The first two units were placed into service in 1927 as E 60 01 and 02. Several small run series followed by June of 1934, the E 60 03-14, which were also used in part at other Bavarian stations. In addition to switching work, the E 60 was also planned for local freight trains and transfer work. Its characteristic design with the two hoods, the rear one being long and the front one relatively short, quickly generated its nickname "Flat Iron". After the annexation of Austria, several units went starting in 1938 to the "Annexation Area" to Innsbruck, Kufstein, and Wörgl. All of the E 60 locomotives survived the work without extensive damages and the units still in Austria came back to Bavarian as part of a locomotive swap in 1945/46. In 1957/58, the DB had the locomotives fundamentally overhauled and updated. They thus were equipped with switching platforms above the buffers, additional windows, and new wiring. By 1964 the E 60 units (from 1968 on: 160) were only running again in Bavaria. Then came Heidelberg as a new home base. The first units to be retired were in 1977 and with the storage of road number 160 012 in June of 1983 switching service with electric locomotives on the DB also ended. Road numbers 160 009, 010, and 012 remain preserved as museum locomotives.

Comment: The Classes 75.4, 75.10-11 (Baden VI c1-9) The class VI b (later the DRG class 75.1-3) turned in good results on the lines in Baden with their many curves and steep grades. The Baden State Railroad therefore went back to the 2-6-2T wheel arrangement for the further development of this type. However, the railroad equipped the new class "VI c" units with super-heated steam running gear. The higher permissible axle load allowed the installation of a super heater as well as a larger boiler. Hence, the performance and the speed of the new locomotive could be increased again. The wheel diameter was accordingly increased from 1,480 mm / 58-1/4" to 1,600 mm / 63" and the wheelbase was increased from 3,400 / 133-7/8" to 4,000 mm / 157-1/2". The result was now the fastest provincial railroad 2-6-2T tank locomotive in Germany. The first locomotive was delivered in 1914 by the builder Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe (MBG). A total of 92 units in six production runs were placed into service by 1917. Together with the VI b predecessor model, they now formed 50 percent of the active Baden motive power roster. In 1918, 28 units had to be given up after the end of World War I as reparations payments (armistice locomotives), 15 to France, and 13 to Belgium. Since the VI c represented a thoroughly successful design that could be used for almost all types of operations, the German State Railroad (DRG) ordered another 43 units in the transition phase. All total the DRG took over 107 units as 75 401-494 (with gaps) and 75 1001-1023 as well as 1101-1120. The VI c soon made itself useful outside of Baden: By the end of the Twenties ten locomotives went to the Berlin S-Bahn, and in 1935, 38 locomotives went to Mecklenburg. After World War II, 66 units came to the DB that were used mainly in Freiburg, Offenburg, Radolfzell, Singen, Waldshut, Karlsruhe, and Villingen. The last VI c was not retired until 1967 with road number 75 1118. It is now an operational museum locomotive with the Ulm Railroad Fans (UEF) and runs in museum operations between Amstetten and Gerstetten. After 1945, 29 locomotives remained with the DR. They ran until the end of the Sixties in Haldensleben, Bautzen, and Löbau.

Comment: The DB Leig Unit As early as the Mid-Twenties the German State Railroad (DRG) was faced with competition from trucks. The less-than-carload-lot service chiefly had to be accelerated in order not to lose more market share. The DRG therefore developed a new transport concept in 1927, whereby less-than-carload-lot freight was hauled in their own trains and was to be sorted enroute. This saved time-consuming switching maneuvers for loading and unloaded along the route. Actually, these so-called "Leichten Eil-Güterzüge" ("Light Fast Freight Trains") (Leig for short) were supposed to be hauled by newly developed powered baggage rail cars but they were not available yet and were never built except for a few subsequent individual samples. Initially, use was made of locomotive-hauled short trains and the conversion of existing freight cars as a cost-effective "emergency solution". On each pair of cars, a shock absorption plate replaced a buffer on one side at one end of the cars and the buffer on the other side was replaced by a buffer without a plate in order to achieve two close-coupled cars in this manner. At the close-coupled end with a spacing between the cars of only 54 cm / 21-1/4", large openings were cut into the end walls and the space between the cars was bridged by a walkover plate and a diaphragm. The result was a large connected work space. The first Leig units still consisted of a boxcar and a freight train baggage car. After just a short time, Leig units were made from two high-capacity cars. The permissible maximum speed was increased to 100 km/h / 62 mph after changes to the suspension for the cars. The side walls for these boxcars bore the lettering "Stückgut-Schnellverkehr" ("Less-than-Carload-Lot Express Service") in different versions, whereby the variation known to everyone and often selected had ascending black lettering on a white background. The Leigs were usually coupled together in "Leichtgüterzügen" / "Light Freight Trains" with a maximum of ten axles, sometimes with a gondola for bulky or dangerous freight. With this limitation on the train length, trains could be stopped exactly at station platforms and the freight transfer could be acceleration accordingly. After the end of World War II, the DB at the start of the Fifties stood before the task of replacing and adding to the Leig units in the years to come. It purchased the type Gllmehs 52 Leig units in large numbers as a result. The DB did not stop running trains of Less-than-Carload-Lot Express Service until the Sixties and the Leig units continued to be used only in "normal" freight trains.
