Israel Railways purchased 18 locomotives of this type, numbered 211-228, as part of the Holocaust reparations agreement. They were based on the West-German V60 series. A few remained in service until 1998. For a short period, locomotives of this type also lead passenger trains on the Be’er Sheva line.
