The class E 42 (from 1970 class 242) of the Deutsche Reichsbahn was an electric locomotive that was a modified version of the DR class E 11 for freight traffic and slow passenger traffic. At Deutsche Bahn AG, these locomotives were still in use for a short time as DB class 142. Some locomotives were sold to Switzerland and designated as Ae 417, Ae 476, or Ae 477. The series is also known by the nickname wooden scooters.
