dienten sie wie ursprünglich geplant als Mehrzweckloks.
Da das Laufverhalten nicht zufriedenstellend bewertet wur-
de, gab München 1943 alle E77 nach Halle ab. Sie wur-
den 1946 in die UDSSR abtransportiert. Erst 1955 kehr-
ten die letzten Exemplare zurück. Davon wurden 10 wie-
der aufgearbeitet. Sie waren bis 1966 im Einsatz. Die
E7710, genannt „Elli" ist die letzte erhaltene betriebsfähi-
ge Lokomotive. Sie gehört dem Dresdener Verkehrs-
museum.
Operating Instructions
Locomotive E77 – N
Version 1250
From 1925 onwards, the German State Railway procured
steam locomotives according to standardized
construction principles. The so-called 'standard design
locomotives' are generally known. Far less railway
enthusiasts know that a first electric locomotive design
programme existed as early as 1922. It catered for the
procurement of classes E06, E16, E32, E52, E77, E79 and
E91. With 56 units, the E77 was the most important
locomotive of this programme. The first E77 was delivered
in 1924. It was planned to use the E77 as multi-purpose
locomotive which was to pull both freight as well as
passenger trains in the Bavarian and Prussian railway
network. The locomotive which was originally designated
EG3 was a design of the Berliner Maschinenbau AG. With
a split running gear and a bodywork divided into three, a
good radial movement of axles was to be achieved. One
20-point motor each transmitted its momentum to the
two 1400 mm diameter driving axles via a Winterthur bias
rod drive. Ex works the machines were taken to the
German State Railway administrative units Munich (loco
depot Munich main station) and Halle (loco depot Leip-
zig West, Roßlau, Wahren, Halle P). In Munich they were
exclusively used in front of freight trains, in Halle they
were used as multi-purpose locomotives, as originally
planned. As the running behaviour was rated
unsatisfactory, Munich handed over all E77 locomotives
to Halle in 1943. In 1946 they were transported to the
USSR. Only in 1955 did the last units return. 10 of these
were reconditioned and were in use until 1966. The E7710,
called 'Elli', is the last remaining operational locomotive.
It belongs to the Traffic Museum in Dresden.
