...as per the cabside indications. The locomotive belongs to the Deutsche Reichsbahn V 100 family of diesel-hydraulic locos – which closely resembles the West German V 100 family later known as classes 211, 212 and 213 and was indeed intended to serve the same roles – was built at the People-Owned Combine Locomotive and Electrical Engineering Works at Hennigsdorf in 1973 with the works number 13937. In Deutsche Reichsbahn service, the loco was known as 110 619 originally. It was retired from the DB AG fleet in 1996 and then began its career with a variety of private TOCs. In 2008 it ended up as Alstom property as the company had bought up large quantities of ex-DR V 100s to sell them on to interested parties, also offering various upgrade packages including things like new prime movers and indeed entirely new bodies.

 

As per the inscriptions, the loco weighs in at 68 tonnes, has a unified Knorr brake with settings G and P plus direct brake valve, and braking weights of 56 tonnes on the "P" setting and 43 on the "G" setting. Its last revision was concluded at the former Stendal works – which is where Alstom are based now – on 31 August last year.
