The type 1435 Cs 500 was a series of standard gauge tank locomotives that were built by the Škoda Works in Pilsen from 1941 for heavy shunting in industrial companies. In the Škoda nomenclature, the locomotives are now listed as Type 51 Lo .
history
The type Cs 500 was developed when, after the beginning of the Second World War, there was a great need in the iron and steel industry of the German Empire for powerful and robust locomotives for internal shunting . In 1941, a total of 29 locomotives were built in two series, which were intended for customers in the Moravian-Silesian industrial area, but also in the so-called "Old Reich". The Witkowitz ironworks near Mährisch Ostrau received six machines alone . Four machines came to the Škoda factory railway.
After the Second World War, Škoda built more locomotives for industrial companies in the re-established Czechoslovakia, which were delivered in two series in 1948 and 1950.
In the Czech Republic, two locomotives have been preserved as a museum, and at least three more have been erected as memorials.
The locomotive with the serial number 2475 was built in 1950 for the Škoda works. Sold to a chemical plant in Sokolov in the 1960s, it was included in the Nymburk Local History Museum in 1986. Today it is in the care of the Výtopna Zlíchov Association in Prague.
A locomotive that was delivered to the Spojené ocelárny np Kladno (SONP Kladno) in 1950 has also been preserved in the museum . It was used as No. 29 on the local industrial railway . Today it belongs to the inventory of the Railway Museum in Lužná u Rakovníka .
Monument locomotives are located in Ostrava in front of the Mining Museum and the Nová huť, and in Lupěné on the railway section of the Česká Třebová – Olomouc railway line that has been abandoned due to re- routing and has been rededicated as a cycle path .

After working for Doggererz AG in Blumberg / Baden, she came to Dillinger Hütte during the war . It has been erected as a memorial at Bundenthal-Rumbach train station since 1972 .
