The classic work horse for heavy freight trains in the 50s and 60s was without a doubt the class 44. These legendary machines mastered the great flows of freight in the expanding economy of the so-called Economic Miracle period. This was the high point and shining moment for the 2,000 hp, 185 metric ton heavy Jumbos, as the class 44 locomotives were affectionately called.
