FS E444 005 at Milano Centrale in 1990.
<br>This engine was built as a prototype unit with full choppers electronic rating control device instead of the usual rheostatic device and eventually rebuilt like the series units. Now the whole class, with the exception of the four prototypes 001-004, has been rebuilt with new cabs and many other modifications, so the look of these engines has changed a lot.
