The 1142 685 underwent repairs following its collision with a freight train in February 2002. At this time, the front was fitted at driver’s cab 2 with new, small front end headlights with adyescent train rear lanterns, a larger shunter grab handle and handrails running below the windows.
The large, lower front headlights, the smaller shunter grab handle and the handrails below the front windows extending to the driver’s cab doors are still in place on the driver’s cab 1 side. The blood orange livery was also retained. The locomotive can still be seen on Austria’s railway lines today, but in the Valousek design.
