Locomotive, Electric, BR 184

History: To reduce the time-consuming locomotive switch at the borders with Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg or France, the DB wanted to develop a multisystem locomotive in particular for long-distance services to the above mentioned countries. These multisystem locomotives had to stay in front of the train until the end station was reached, so exploitation was a lot easier and also costs less time.

With the experiences done with the three locomotives E 320 (BR 182), the BZA München developed together with AEG, BCC and Krupp a locomotive for two currents (E 310) and a locomotive for four currents (E 410, renamed BR 184).
