As the more powerful version of the class 132, the class 142 diesel-electric locomotive is a real powerhouse with 4,000 hp. The locomotives were used on all those lines on which the 132 had to be operated with a leader or could not reach or maintain the specified speed with heavy trains. The first “4,000 hp locomotive” was completed in 1974 and presented at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1975. A total of six locomotives were delivered by 1978.
