Diesel locomotive series 221 of the German Federal Railways.In order to cope with the increased traffic volume also on the non-electrified main routes, the Deutsche Bundesbahn purchased a total of 50 V 200.1 locomotives from the year 1962. They differ from the previous machines by means of more powerful motors. These were necessary for longer and therefore heavier passenger trains. Among the main areas of operation were the routes between Kempten and Lindau, Offenburg and Konstanz as well as the well-known bird flight line between Germany and Denmark. The locomotives were later redrawn to the 221 series in their locomotive gluing and often received an ocean-blue-beige paint.This text is machine translated.
