One-time series
The class 85 was best able to demonstrate its concentrated power on the steep grades in the Black Forest and particularly in the legendary Höllental or Valley of Hell. It was so powerful that these routes could be operated with just ordinary adhesion motive power, which was quite simpler to manage than rack rail operation. The smoke deflectors on these units are the most visible indication of the modernization carried out on them by the German Federal Railroad.
