The electric locomotives of the class E 19 (class 119 from 1968) were the fastest electric locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. In regular service they were restricted to a maximum speed of 180 km/h but the locomotives were designed for travel speeds of up to 225 km/h. At the time of their presentation they were the most powerful single frame locomotives ever built.
