From 1923 to 1927 16 BBÖ 1100 and BBÖ 1100.1 locomotives were ordered by the Austrian Railway Company.One locomotive was lost during WW2  due to bombing. In 1953 all 15 machines were modernised and designated as BR 1089 and BR 1189  by the Austrian Railway Company, ÖBB. The locomotives were withdrawn from service in 1979 after 56 years.

The Deutsche Bundesbahn (DRG) Baureihe E 18 is a class of electric locomotives in Germany, originally operated by Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). With exception of Class E 19 it was Deutsche Reichsbahn's fastest electric locomotive.

The Austria Federal Railways (ÖBB) also used modified versions of the locomotives as Class ÖBB 1018.

All of the E69's (there were only five) were built for the "Lokalbahn AG Mόnchen" (LAG), a small railway company whose lines were mostly situated south of Mόnchen. The E69's were designed to run on the line between Murnau and Oberammergau. Originally, this line was built to operate at 5.5kV AC. The Reichsbahn continued to operate this line at this voltage, although this was incompatible with the rest of their southern German electrification of 15kV. Ultimately, the DB converted the line to the standard 15kV in 1955, which now means that locos like the class 141 are usually used on the route.

Although the E69's were specifically built to run on the Murnau-Oberammergau line, after they were converted to 15kV, they could occasionally been seen away from their original route. Unlike the E60's and E63's, the E69's were not built as shunting locomotives, although their small size might tend to suggest this. The E69's were designed from the beginning to haul normal trains, including passenger services. In their last years of services, a 'normal train' might consist of one or two E69's with one (A)Bnb Silverfish and one BDnf Silverfish coach.

The entire class of E69's actually comprised only five locomotives. The locos '2' and '3' are the same, but the other three locos are all different. I say "are" rather than "were", as all five E69's have been preserved.
