Historical electric locomotive E 71 30, interior
Interior of electric locomotive E 71 30, exhibited at the Verkehrsmuseum Dresden. It consists of two bogies directly coupled to each other and a central carbody. Built in 1920 by AEG Hennigsdorf, it is one of the oldest electric locomotives in Germany. After their maximum speed was increased from 50 km/h to 65 km/h, several engines of class E 71 were redeployed from Halle to Basel in 1928/1930, but E 71 30 remained in Central Germany. In 1946 it was transported to the Sowjet Union but came back in 1952. Photo taken Sunday 26 May 2013. Photo: Steffen Mokosch (Steffen.Mokosch@web.de)
