The DRG Class E94 is an electric heavy freight locomotive built for Deutsche Reichsbahn since 1940, with the bulk of deliveries taking place in the same year. It is a major evolution of the DRG Class E 93. Railway aficionados still call the Type "Grünes Krokodil" (Green Crocodile) because of the resemblance to the Swiss crocodile.
