Historical electric locomotive E 71 30, Verkehrsmuseum Dresden
Historical 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. Put out of service on 20 November 1959 and exhibited at the VMD since 4 April 1962. Photo taken Sunday 26 May 2013.
