HISTORY:

 

Built as E 40 432 by Henschel & Sohn at their Kassel Works and delivered to DB's Dortmund Bbf on 15/11/1963 (Works No. 30665).

 

Renumbered when UICs came in on 1 January 1968, it became 140 432-6.

 

Over its 50 year working life with DB, it was based at many depots:

Dortmund (4 times)

Offenburg

Heidelberg

Hagen-Eckesey

Augsburg

Osnabrück Hbf

Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd

Frankfurt (Main) 1 (1991 to 1999)

Mannheim (1999 to 2002)

Seelze (2002 to 2014)

 

All the allocations up to Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd were before October 1970, when it then came back to Dortmund for the last time and stayed 21 years.

 

Its last DB overhaul was 2006 at Dessau (REV IS700 LD X 07/09/2006).

 

It was switched off on 17/03/2014 when the DB 140s were being wound down, even though it still had 5 months left on its 2nd Verl).

 

Sent to Rostock Seehafen it was stored in the Rbf next to the Works and sold in September 2015 to BYB - BayernBahn GmbH, Nördlingen.

 

It was overhauled at BYB's Nördlingen Works on 23/02/2016 and has been active with BYB ever since.
