Experimental locomotive for 3-phase AC overhead wire, built by Siemens & Halske, Verkehrsmuseum Dresden
Experimental locomotive for 3-phase AC overhead wire, built by Siemens & Halske in 1899 with serial number 303. In 1900 the original wooden frame was replaced by a metal frame. In 1901 the engine was relocated from the experimental railway Groß Lichterfelde–Zehlendorf to the cement plant Berka, where the electrical equipment was replaced by a direct current system during the 1920s. In service until the 1970s, it was rebuilt by the Dessau Reichsbahn works in 1979 and is exhibited at the VMD until today. Exhibited status from around 1900! Photo taken Sunday 26 May 2013.
