Source: Wikipedia
The series 103 locomotive is a series of German electric locomotives, originally operated by the Deutsche Bundesbahn. For a long time it was considered the flagship of German locomotives.
In 1965, the first four prototypes were completed and took the name Series E 03 (or Series 103.0 following the renewal of the numbering system). During test runs in Augsburg they achieved a constant speed of 200 km/h. The first series production model of the Series 103.1 was put into service on May 27, 1970.
With a total number of 145 units produced, the Series 103.1 became the backbone of the Trans-Europ Express and InterCity services.
