They were normal series locomotives, yet they were protected like a state treasure - the government locomotives of the GDR
The home of the three government locomotives was the Bw Lichtenberg and this belonged to the Bw Ostbahnhof after 1970
What was not so well known is that there was another V180 / BR 118 in government use
The 118 514 was considered a reservelok and provided its service in various Bw's in the Berlin area and was only used in emergencies as a government locomotive
In case of necessary RAW stays of one of the three trunk R-train locomotives, the 118 514 was "commanded" from the normal plan service to the R-Zug Brigade
