The 151 Electric Locomotive was built between 1972 to 1978 by Deutsche Bundesbahn for heavy freight operations. It owes much of its development from the class 150.

The 151 Series is also suitable for the passenger service, but this is rare. Owing to the two large 3 axle bogies and very sturdy construction of the chassis, the locomotive is able to hold a very high tractive effort from its engine.

Today, these locomotives are operated by the the subsidiary Railon, and is employed solely on long distance freight around Germany.
