The Class E 41 locomotives (Class 141 locomotives from 1968 onward) were first delivered to the Deutsche Bundesbahn in 1956 for light and mixed service on main lines. They had a maximum speed of 120 km/h and a continuous power output of 2,310 kW. Notably, they were the only class in the standard locomotive programme to feature switchgears on the low-voltage sides of the transformers. This switchgear was known for its distinctive noise, which, along with the noticeable jumps in tractive effort, earned the locomotives the nickname "Knallfrosch" ("firecracker").
Locomotive 141 152 was one of the first to be repainted in the newly introduced orient red livery in November 1987 and retained this colour scheme until its retirement at the end of 2002.
