Bw Würzburg - Farewell to E18 & E44
View of 118 055 & Austrian (ÖBB) 1118.01.
118 055 was last E18 to be built, being completed in Essen in 1955 by Krupps. It and 118 054 were the only builds after the war, from spare parts and salvage from bombing raids.
1118.01 was built as E18 42 in 1938, and ended up in independent Austria after the war as part of the ÖBB fleet. Austria subsequently modified the windows on its E18 & E94 locos with rubber seals, as well as going from three windows to two.
