The electric locomotives of Bavarian Class EP 2 were in light passenger train service in Germany for almost 50 years. After their initial classification as EP 2 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways, they were redesignated as E 32s from 1927 to 1968 in the DRG's numbering plan and, later in the DB classification scheme.
