The DR Class V 60 was a class of 0-8-0 diesel-hydraulic locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn intended for medium to heavy shunting service.
In addition to being used by the DR, the locomotives were also found in service on various works and mine railways. About 25 per cent were exported to Comecon countries, and the so-called Non-Socialist Economic Area (Nichtsozialistisches Wirtschaftsgebiet, NSW). For example, the Egyptian State Railways, the Bulgarian State Railways (BDŽ) and Algerian National Railways (SNTF) all received this type of locomotives.
Prototypes
Based on the requirements, LKM Babelsberg built a four-axle prototype locomotive with an asymmetrically arranged driver's cab and drive via a jackshaft and coupling rods. A turbocharged eight-cylinder 8 KVD 21 A engine from VEB Motorenwerk Johannisthal was used.{{cite magazine|first1=Klaus |last1=Kampelmann |first2=Oliver |last2=Strüber |title=Zögerlicher Start und langsamer Fortgang |magazine=eisenbahn-magazin |issue=4 |year=2020 |page=45 |language=de}}. The testing of the prototype V 60 1001 began on 5 February 1959. In September 1959, the second prototype V 60 1002 followed.

With 2,256 units, the design in one of the most frequently built European standard gauge locomotives. 188 locomotives were built by LKM in Babelsberg, the remainder by LEW in Hennigsdorf.{{cite book |title=Schienenfahrzeuge aus Hennigsdorf bei Berlin |publisher=Verlag Neddermeyer |location=Berlin |year=2006 |isbn=978-3-933254-72-6 |language=de}}
Class 347
File:DBAG_Baureihe_347_in_Mukran.jpg
In 1986, the last major transport project in East Germany was the new Mukran Ferry Port in Sassnitz. The port was primarily used to provide a trouble-free connection between East Germany and the former Soviet Union. In 1989, five train ferries ran in regular service between Mukran and Klaipėda in Lithuania. Since the Soviet railways have a wider gauge of {{RailGauge|1520mm}}, the ferries and {{convert|340|ha|acre|abbr=in}} port facilities were built with {{convert|48|km|mi|abbr=in}} of standard gauge and {{convert|24|km|mi|abbr=in}} of broad gauge tracks.{{cite magazine |first=Harm |last=Sievers |title=Auf der Breitspur nach Osten.

Livery
In the first series, the original paintwork was red with white stripes; later, the DR painted all shunting locomotives yellow. When this the paint got a bit older and dirtier, the then golden-brown paint was reminiscent of a grilled chicken. There, locomotives in this colour were given the nickname Goldbroiler.{{cite book |first=Lothar |last=Weber |title=Der Goldbroiler – Die Baureihe V 60 der DR |year=2014 |publisher=Verlag transpress |location=Stuttgart |isbn=978-3-613-71490-8 |language=de}}
