In 1941 and 1942 a total of four double locomotives of type D 311 were put into service by the German armed forces. They had been built for the transport of heavy railway gates. Two locomotives, the V 188 001 a/b and the V 188 002 a/b were further used after the war by the German Federal Railways A third locomotive served as spare parts dispenser. They proved themselves in the heavy goods train and push service, mainly on the Spessart ramp. After a generator failure, the V 188 001 had to be shut down as early as 1968. V 188 002, later in 288 002, was still in operation in the Franconian region until 1972. In 1973 both machines were scrapped.This text is machine translated.
