List of East German Deutsche Reichsbahn locomotives and railbuses
- List of East German Deutsche Reichsbahn locomotives and railbuses
The locomotives and railbuses of the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn are arranged according to the numbering system of 1 July 1970. On 1 January 1992 they were renumbered to the DB classification scheme 1 January 1968 in preparation for the merger of the two national railways. This renumbering was described as the 'locomotive classification of the Deutsche Bahn AG' as a number of changes and additions to the previous scheme were needed.
Classification before 1970: see also DRG classification system.
Steam locomotives
In the DR numbering plan the following additional practices were common:
*xx.6xxx locomotives, that originated from former private railways.
From 1970 the following sub-classes for all steam locomotives were introduced, the locomotive number always being four digits long:
*xx.0 locomotives with oil-firing
*xx.1–8 locomotives with grate firing
*xx.9 locomotives with coal dust firing
Electric Locomotives
With the exception of the BR 251 all locomotives are designed for 15 kV/16,7 Hz~.
