The DB BR 182 is a locomotive which is capable of diverse duty,
irrespective of region or intended use, all while meeting the
latest standards of safety and technology of the time. Deutsche
Bahn ordered 25 of these locomotives for “universal” work, giving
them a fleet which they could operate on both passenger and freight
services in Germany and Austria.
Classified as the DB BR 182, these locomotives have spent their
lives filling in for other traction wherever necessary,
particularly on commuter networks which were amidst fleet upgrades.
The same is true on the Mitteldeutschland S-Bahn, which was not
receiving its order of DB BR 1442 units fast enough to replace
aging motive power, so the DB BR 182s were drafted into service
with DoppelStock vehicles for push/pull passenger operation.
The DB BR 182, along with other “universal” similar locomotives,
are known for being some of the fastest accelerating in the world.
Not only that, but they are renowned for a unique quirk in their
traction motors: as one accelerates, the three-phase motor sequence
produces a finely tuned “Do Re Mi” melody, rising up through 13
notes before settling into a more traditional sound set. In
addition, as typical braking uses the traction motors to slow down,
the same can be heard in reverse, stepping down gradually until the
locomotive comes to a stop.
In Train Sim World, the DB BR 182 adds a dash of red to the “Rapid
Transit” route, and depicts the Mitteldeutschland S-Bahn S2 line
during the transitional period where DB BR 1442 EMUs were still
being delivered.
