Prototype information
The V 60 as a diesel switch engine was also part of the German Federal Railroad's extensive new locomotive construction program in the 1950s. The output of this unit is 478 kilowatts / 650 horsepower. Two versions can be identified among the 941 locomotives built. They differ only in the adhesion weight. These two versions were designated in Era 4 as the class 260 and class 261. The V 60 is still at home all over Germany in switching work. Many of these locomotives now can be seen apparently without an engineer on account of their conversion to remote control.
