Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The electric locomotives of the class E 19 were the fastest electric locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. They reached a maximum speed of 180 km/h, but were designed for speeds up to 225 km/h. They were the most powerful single frame locomotives in the world of their time. In 1937, Deutsche Reichsbahn proposed electric locomotives for the route Berlin-Halle-Munich to provide a high-speed service with a top speed of 180 km/h and a speed of 60 km/h on the gradients of the Franconian Forest Railway, with an option of increasing speeds to over 200 km/h in the near future.
