Created for freight transport. In its type plan for standard electric locomotives, the young Federal Railway defined a machine for freight transport with the 140 series. This largely corresponded to the 110 series, with a gear ratio adapted to the tasks. It was also used in front of passenger trains and was omnipresent thanks to the enormous number of 879 units. Deliveries began in January 1957. The DB was finally able to take delivery of the last 140 in August 1973. As a result, there were many small design differences. Some locomotives were given wear buffer beams and a multiple control system for double traction and push-pull train operation. They are still in use on private railways today. DB Cargo has been discontinuing its services since October 2016.
