Prototype History: 
The Siemens series 1014/1114 electric locomotives were produced for the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) by SGP-Graz (now Siemens). The 1114 is a little lighter (66 tons) and optimized for speed and passenger service. The heavier 1014 (74 tons) has more tractive power and was designed for freight service. These locomotives were produced between 1993 and 1994.
This design was specially made for dual-frequency service. The problem arose from the fact that some of Austria's neighboring countries used a different frequency for the current in their catenary lines. Before the introduction of the 1014/1114, it was necessary top swap out the locomotives when crossing from Austria into Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The two locomotives are share the same structural frame allowing for parts interchange. It is also possible to convert a 1014 into a 1114 and vice versa.
This series of locomotives was replaced by the newer 1116 locomotives produced by Siemens.

Road Name History: 
The Austrian Federal Railways (German: Österreichische Bundesbahnen or ÖBB, formerly the Bundesbahn Österreich or BBÖ) is the national railway system of Austria, and the administrator of Liechtenstein's railways. The ÖBB group is owned entirely by the Republic of Austria and is divided into several separate businesses that manage the infrastructure and operate passenger and freight services.
The Austrian Federal Railways has had two discrete periods of existence. It was first formed in 1923, using the Bundesbahn Österreich name, as a successor to the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways (kkStB), but was incorporated into the Deutsche Reichsbahn during the 1938-1945 Anschluss. It was reformed in 1947, using the slightly different Österreichische Bundesbahnen name, and remains in existence in this form.
Major changes currently being made to the Austrian railway network are the construction of the Wien Hauptbahnhof (Vienna main station), the Koralm Railway, the Semmering Base Tunnel and the Brenner Base Tunnel connection with Italy.
