Starting in 1927 the Deutsche Reichsbahn operated 14 locomotives series E 60 at the big Bavarian railway stations for shunting services. They had a power output of 1,074 kW and a top speed of 55 km/h. The three rod coupled power axles with jackshaft and the engine with the double motor as well as the transverse rods of the series Winterthur made up a "half" electric locomotive for freight trains of the series E 91. Due to the distinct shape of the chassis the locomotives were nicknamed "Bügeleisen".
