The 580 series of the Südbahngesellschaft (SB) was a mountain express locomotive for the Brenner route . Replicas were made for the BBÖ and the Greek State Railways (SEK).
The Südbahn put 27 units into service between 1912 and 1917. Four more locomotives were ordered in 1917, but were not delivered until 1920. In 1922 the BBÖ procured a further six locomotives, so that a total of 37 locomotives were built, of which, however, due to the division after the First World War, only 27 copies with their old numbers remained in Austria.
Ten machines came to Italy and were designated as series 482 by the FS . Five machines came to Yugoslavia and formed the 145 series of the JDŽ .
The locomotives were also used on other routes in Austria after the war, such as the Semmering Railway and the Arlberg Railway . In 1939 all 27 locomotives were incorporated into the DR and were given the designation 58 (901-927), in 1953 23 locomotives were re-designated to the ÖBB class 258, but retained the last three digits of the number (901-907, 909-911, 913- 918, 920-926). They were used in the heating houses in Villach , Mürzzuschlag , Lienz and Bruck an der Mur .
Between 1956 and 1959 a total of 13 locomotives were lent to the Greek State Railways (SEK), which were no longer put into operation after their return. As early as 1926, the SEK had procured a total of forty identical locomotives (10 from the StEG locomotive factory , 30 from Škoda ) and put them into service as the Λα series, which provided all important train services on the difficult main route between Piraeus and Thessaloniki , including the Simplon -Orient-Express .
Since the most important Austrian mountain routes were already electrified and signs of age set in, the locomotives were retired from 1953, in 1964 the 258.902 (formerly 580.03) was withdrawn as the last of its series and reserved for the railway museum. It is exhibited again today with its southern runway number 580.03 in the Strasshof Railway Museum .
