Although the locomotive did everything she should do, no series production was commenced due to the Soviet-Union, that banned all production of Diesel locomotives stronger than 2,000 HP outside the USSR. Today, the loco is part of the collection of the Dresden Verkehrsmuseum.

RheinCargo/HGK DE 670 passes solo through Köln Hbf on 30 December 2019. Freights and light running locos are very rare at Köln Hbf due to the congestion with passenger trains.

On 2 September 2005 InfraLeuna 205 hauls a tank train to the massive Leuna chemical plant through Naumburg (Saale). A few years later, these Diesels were gone off the IL ranks, replaced by more modern traction.
