The steam locomotives of the class Prussian G 10 were freight train with tender locomotives that were developed on the basis of the chassis of the Prussian T 16 tank locomotive and the boiler of the Prussian P 8 passenger locomotive .

Constructive features

During the development of the G 10, the chassis of the T 16 with the laterally movable first and fifth axles was significantly modified, the T 16 was then continued to be built with this modified chassis as the T 16.1 .

In addition to the boiler, the driver's cab was largely taken over from the P 8.

The G 10 was intended for heavy freight train service on main lines, but due to its lower axle load it could be used more flexibly than the roughly equivalent Prussian G 8.1 . The G 10 was occasionally used in passenger train service.

The vehicles were equipped with tenders of the types pr 3 T 16.5 , pr 3 T 20 , pr 2'2 'T 21.5 , pr 2'2' T 31.5 and bay 3 T 20.2 . The latter were taken over from the vehicles of the Bayerische G 4/5 H type .

distribution

Between 1910 and 1925, a total of 2,615 were delivered to the Prussian State Railways and the Deutsche Reichsbahn , 35 to the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine (as Alsace-Lorraine G 10 ) and 27 to the railways of the Saar region. Another 350 went to railway companies in Turkey, Romania, Poland and Lithuania.

The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over a large part of the machines from Prussia and continued to build the G 10 until 1925. After the First World War , 222 G 10s went to foreign railways.

After the establishment of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the G 10 spread like hardly any other series throughout Germany; it was found in depots throughout the German Reich, quasi “from the North Sea beach to the edge of the Alps”.

Some locomotives were delivered as class 33 according to the first preliminary re-designation plan from 1923, from the end of 1923 the newly delivered locomotives were given their final numbers. The G 10 received the numbers 57 1001-2725 and 57 2892-3524 . Among them was a G 10 from Alsace-Lorraine, 57 1124 .

The G 10 of the Saar railways received the numbers 57 2727-2763 in 1935 , including the replicas of the Saar railways from 1921-1925 with the 57 2737-2763 .

During the Second World War , additional locomotives were taken over from Poland as 57 2764-2772 and 57 2784-2804 and from Luxembourg as 57 2773-2783 . After the war, a former G 10 from Alsace-Lorraine was in the GDR and was classified as 57 3551. There was also a G 10 of unknown origin as 57 4245 .

The Austro-Hungarian Army Railroad owned a total of 20 G 10s from 1916, which were intended as the 680 series for use on the redesigned Russian lines. Some of them were given the Reichsbahn numbers 57 2766-2768 and 57 2789-2792 in World War II .

No. 1-90 of the PKP in the Koscierzyna Railway Museum

The G 10, which Poland received after the First World War, were classified as Tw 1 by the PKP . As a result of the Second World War, the Polish population was thoroughly mixed up.

After the First World War, the G 10 also came to the ČSD . They were listed there as the 534.1 series and were in use until the 1960s. After the Second World War, quite a few former G 10s stayed in Czechoslovakia, but only in exceptional cases were they temporarily given new company numbers 535.15 , as these had left Czechoslovakia after a few years . The majority came to the SŽD .

Whereabouts

Deutsche Reichsbahn / Deutsche Bundesbahn

In 1950 the Deutsche Bundesbahn had around 649, the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR 112 and the Saarbahnen 81 G 10 in their inventory. The Federal Railroad decommissioned their G 10, which had been designated as the 057 series from 1968, until 1970, the last being the 057 070 on September 22, 1970. The decommissioning of this series was completed in 1972 at the Reichsbahn.

Austria

657.2770 of the ÖBB in Timelkam station

After the Second World War, a total of 165 units of the 57.10-35 series remained on Austrian territory. Of these, 96 pieces still made up the ÖBB series 657 while retaining the serial number .

The ÖBB retired the 657 series completely by 1968. The 657.2770 (phantasy number!), A machine acquired by the Austrian Society for Railway History in Romania, has been preserved in working order and is used for special trips.

Norway

42 locomotives were in service in occupied Norway from October 1940 to April 1943. They remained in Norway after the end of the war and were given the series designation in the Norwegian directory NSB Type 61a .

The locomotives were unsuitable for Norwegian conditions with many curves, with their five coupled axles without a trailing axle, they were too stiff. Only a few of the 42 locomotives were maintained and used after 1945. By 1955 at the latest, all of them were retired.

Preserved locomotives

57 3297 of the Dresden Transport Museum is on loan and is not operational in the Saxon Railway Museum in Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf.

In the Dieringhausen Railway Museum , 57 1841 , which was meanwhile in Romania, is to be restored to working order. The costs for this are estimated at around 300,000 euros.
