Experimental locomotive for 3-phase AC overhead wire, built by Siemens &
Halske in 1899, 50 km/h, 44.1 kW. The experiments with 3-phase overhead
systems around the beginning of the 20th century brought impressive results
such as the 210 km/h world record (of another EMU), but the system was not
suitable for regular rail operations. Verkehrsmuseum Dresden, 2001-04-27.
