DB Class 143.0 (ex-DR Class 243) LEW 15k v ac overhead 4,985 hp Bo-Bo No.143 589 entering Berlin Hbf on a push-pull service, 09/12. In 1984-90 LEW built 973 of what was concieved as the standard East German freight loco (a version of the passenger Class 212 prototype of 1982) but they were then adapted to mixed traffic duties. The last electric loco to be designed and mass produced in east Germany and highly successful. So good did they prove that after unification DB have used them a lot on push-pull local and DB Regio regional passenger services, allowing a lot of old DB locos to be withdrawn. But they are now themselves being displaced by younger DB classes as more ICE trains come on stream.
