Locomotive 218 406 was delivered to the Deutsche Bundesbahn in April 1976 by Friedrich Krupp in Essen, finished in the then-standard ocean blue and beige livery. It was initially assigned to the depot in Kempten in the Allgäu region. Between 1993 and 2018, the locomotive was based at various depots, including Regensburg, Stendal, Halberstadt, and Ulm.
In June 2017, it was involved in an accident in Langenargen on Lake Constance, during which it caught fire and suffered severe damage. In June 2023, 218 406 returned to its original home depot in Kempten. Since September 2023, it has been back in service, now wearing a new oriental red livery with a bib design.
