Prototype information
The abundance of water power from the mountains led very early to the development of electric locomotives in Bavaria. The high point of this development was surely the EP5, later designated as the E 52. These locomotives were designed for heavy passenger train service on steep grades, and their four traction motors generated a continuous power output of 1,660 kilowatts / 2,226 horsepower at a maximum speed of 90 km/h / 56 mph. A total of 35 units of the 140 metric ton EP5 were ordered. When delivered in 1924, they came in the brown paint scheme of the Group Management Bavaria, but they were soon repainted in the German State Railroad's gray paint scheme. A total of 29 of the original 35 units came to the German Federal Railroad and they were initially painted in "bottle green". Some of the 22 units that made it to Era IV were painted chrome oxide green during overhauls, and all were spared the ocean blue paint scheme.
