The ÖStB - Wielicka to Beskid were steam locomotives of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal Eastern State Railway (ÖStB) of the Engerth design .

The six locomotives were delivered by Günther in Wiener Neustadt in 1855. They were named WIELICZKA , BOCHNIA , WADOWICE , ZATOR , JAWORZNO and BESKID .

In 1858 the ÖStB was re-privatized, with parts of the lines coming to the KFNB and the Galician Carl Ludwig-Bahn (CLB). The vehicle fleet, however, went entirely to the CLB. This is why the six machines discussed here came to the CLB, which had the WADOWICE and JAWORZNO converted into standard three- couplers by the Günther locomotive factory in 1860. Of the remaining four machines, two each were retired in 1861 and 1864. The converted vehicles were assigned the road numbers 71 and 72 from 1868. Since both names and numbers were given back by locomotives of the CLB IIId series in 1870, it can be assumed that they were retired before 1870.
