The locomotives with the track numbers 50-58, 69, 70 and 72-76 were local steam locomotives from Localbahn AG (LAG). The vehicles were modeled after the Bavarian D X , but had a two-cylinder compound engine and a higher boiler pressure.

Krauss , co-founder and therefore co-owner of the LAG, delivered a total of 16 copies of this locomotive between 1897 and 1909. Seven vehicles (No. 50–54, 57 and 58) went to the Lausitzer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (LEAG), a subsidiary of the LAG. Locomotive No. 50 came back to Bavaria in 1909 and was used on the Isar Valley Railway .

All vehicles were taken over by the Reichsbahn in 1925 . The ten locomotives used in Bavaria were classified in the 98.15 series, the six LEAG examples in the 98.76 series .

The 98 7601 was retired before 1945. During the Second World War , the 98 1502 was lost. The 98 1501 went to the later ÖBB , where it was used as 991.01 until 1956. The remaining 13 vehicles came to the Deutsche Bundesbahn and were used on the routes between Munich , Rosenheim and Garmisch-Partenkirchen until 1950 .
