The Prototype:
In 1899, the locomotive maker
Krauss of Linz, Austria delivered
one of its famous U series steam
locomotives, No. 4182, to the
Friedlander Regional Railway
(FBB), which was then located in
the Austrian-German border area.
It operated as FBB 1 Ehrlich. In
1918, the locomotive became CSD
U 37007 of the Czechoslovakian
National Railway. Around 1939,
the locomotive became the Deutsche
Reichsbahn's No. 99791 and
was deployed on the HetzdorfGrosswaltersdorf
narrow gauge
line.
The loco was damaged during an
air raid, and in 1945, it was taken in
1945 to the DR repair shop in
Chemnitz. From there it was used
by the Prignitz regional narrow
gauge railway. After expropriation
of the private railways in East
Germany, it was renamed to
DR 994712, and finally, it was
taken out of service on November
15, 1965. That ended the memorable
history of this famous Austrian
locomotive in Germany.
