This is another class 141. The DB electric variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Irish readers are familiar with Ireland’s class 141 General Motors diesel electrics. These once common twin-cab Bo-Bos were a standard variety of motive power across the CIE\/Irish Rail network for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By contrast, DB’s class 141 is a mainline overhead electric locomotive are in the same family as DB’s class 110\/111 and class 140 electrics. The class 141 (originally E 41) were built from the mid-1950s until 1971. More than 450 of the type once worked German rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this photo of DB’s freshly painted 141-233-7 working at the back of push-pull Regional Express train that has paused at the Mainz Hbf (main station) in August 1998. At the time these were a very common locomotive in the Frankfurt area. I photographed it only because it had come to a stop near where I was standing. I’m glad I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this image on Fujichrome Sensia 100 using my old Nikon F3T with a 24mm Nikkor lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
