The little story:
The V 100 series was acquired as a series from the 1961/62 season, after carrying out trials with prototypes. It was used for mixed traction operations on non-electrified tracks, as well as for light services on main lines. Rated at 1,100 hp (810 kW), it was authorised to run at a maximum speed of 110 km/h. In 1968, these locomotives were renamed the 211 series.
