The fact that the German Federal Railroad retired the class 220 did not automatically mean the end of this successful class. Many of these locomotives were acquired by other railroads and overhauled for new uses, including track laying work in Saudi Arabia and in Switzerland, where the class 220 was used for an even longer period of time.
