One-time series.
The German State Railroad Company placed a total of 12 class E 91.9 three-unit locomotives in service in 1927. The two double motors on these units transferred their power to the two 3-axle power trucks with side rods by means of Winterthur drive rods. These locomotives could run at a maximum speed of 55 km/h / 34 mph, which was sufficient for the heavy freight service on curving steep grades. These three-unit heavyweights could use their hefty startup power to great effect on such routes. Six of these units were on the motive power roster of the German Federal Railroad, and one unit has been preserved as a museum locomotive.
