"Biron fold" or quite prosaic E 10.3: There is hardly a German locomotive type that has shaped the 
Bundesbahn's heyday from the 1960s onwards like the elegant and wind-cutting machines of the E 10 
class. Their impressive success story began in the 1950s, when the young Deutsche Bahn promoted 
electrification and ordered an efficient and fast electric locomotive in large numbers with the 
E 10. The first series (E 10.0 and E 10.1) still had a profane, angular locomotive box, in 1962 the 
first was published with an "aerodynamic" front. The striking design with the "wrinkle" in the 
middle of the variant, which was included as E 10.3, soon earned the name "Bügelfalte". For decades, 
the E 10 was the workhorse of the DB's high quality, and the "fold" was certainly one of the stars 
on German rails. From 1990, the E 10 moved to regional transport and performed their services 
reliably there. The last "folds" did not leave DB service until 2013 with many millions of 
kilometers.
