60113

60113 is a model number assigned to a specific type of locomotive produced by the German locomotive manufacturer Krauss-Maffei. Introduced in the early 1960s, this model was designed for use on the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), the German Federal Railway network. The 60113 is a diesel-electric locomotive, meaning it uses a diesel engine to generate electricity, which powers the traction motors driving the wheels.

The 60113 was part of the V100 series, a family of powerful diesel locomotives developed to replace older steam and diesel units. It was equipped with a 1,600 horsepower (1,200 kilowatts) engine, allowing it to haul heavy freight trains efficiently. The locomotive featured a streamlined design, which improved aerodynamics and reduced wind resistance, contributing to better fuel economy and performance.

The 60113 was primarily used for freight operations, particularly for long-distance hauls. Its robust construction and reliable engine made it well-suited for demanding tasks, including the transport of coal, minerals, and other bulk cargo. Over time, some units were also employed for passenger services, though this was less common.

By the late 20th century, as rail transport evolved, the 60113 began to be phased out in favor of more modern locomotives. Many units were retired from active service, though some were preserved by railway museums or private collectors. Today, the 60113 is remembered as an important part of German railway history, representing a key development in diesel locomotive technology during the mid-20th century.
