As the last new DB development of six-axle electric locomotives, a total of 170 units of the 151 series were developed by Krupp, Henschel, Krauss-Maffei, AEG, Siemens and BBC until 1977, which were initially used throughout Germany and in some cases even before passenger trains. From the 151 076 onwards, they all became ocean blue/ivory in the new color concept, and previously the 151 073 was also delivered in this way. Between 1976 and 1981, the 151 089-099 and 114-122 received an automatic clutch (Unicupler) and then, for many years, ran mostly in double traction in front of heavy ore trains in the relations Hamburg â Beddingen (5,700 t), Venlo â Dillingen (5,130 t) and Moers â Linz (3,220 t).Heavy goods train locomotive 151 111-2 from the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB).
