service. Unfortunately nobody noticed the paint job, and the passengers
all complained about the lack of seats. These were the same passengers
that demanded the end of the 302, 310 and 312's. Go figure!

This loco is designed for heavy-duty freight trains. It can be fitted with
engines rating from 1600 to 3400 KW. To apply power to the wheels, either
three-phase current or DC can be used. The axleload may vary from 14 to
25 metric tons, thus yielding a loco mass from 84 to 150 metric tons. The
gauge can be varied between 1067 mm and 1676 mm without any alterations
to the chassis. The maximum speed is rated at 160 km/h or 99 mph. The loco
is diesel-electric. It can currently be seen in the Kassel (Germany) area.
It has primarily been built for export purposes. A first fixed order has
been placed by Pakistan Railways; other railways interested are DB AG (Deutsche
