A Locomotive That Can Really Work!The class 216 is or was a real jack-of-all-trades. It could pull heavy freight trains loaded with coal or steel in the Ruhr area, as well as work as motive power for regular limited stop fast trains on non-electrified routes. The class 216 locomotives were also a guarantee for punctuality in commuter service or express train service and in freight service.
