DRG Class E 93
The DRG Class E93 is an electric heavy freight locomotive built by AEG for Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1933. Its development was triggered by the electrification of the Geislinger Steige, a steep grade of the mainline railroad between Stuttgart and Ulm, which had been electrified in 1933 and required powerful new freight locomotives to overcome it with heavy freight trains.

gollark: I figure I can probably do, say, message channels and timestamps without any issues, as long as it's only here, I have an opt out, and I'm clear about it.
gollark: The updated ones say similar things.
gollark: The amount of privacy things I would have to deal with if I didn't just lyriclyishly ignore them might make the whole stats thing impractical.
