In order to accelerate the traction change, the German State Railway (DR) procured a total of 378 class V 200 (later class 120) locomotives from the Soviet Union from 1966 to 1975. Because the locomotives had no train heating in their ex works condition, they were mainly used in goods train service. Due to their loud engine noise, they were quickly given the nickname “Taigatrommel” (Taiga drum).
