Deutsches Bundesbahn BR 104 1-Co-1 104 017-9 at Rheine
Caption - Deutsches Bundesbahn (DB) BR 104 1-Co-1 104 017-9 at Rheine in September 1974. This small class of 23 locos were built between 1932 and 1935. After division of Germany 17 became DR property with the remaining 6 in West Germany. As such they were rare beasts. After seeing this loco I developed an interest in older electrics with their noisy motors and control equipment. Also of interest was wheel arrangements similar to steam locos with this machine being a 2-6-2. Final withdrawal took place not long after this loco was photographed.
