The ATE Xa was a tank locomotive of the kk privileged Aussig-Teplitzer Eisenbahn (ATE).
history
The locomotive was delivered in 1870 by Krauss & Cie in Munich for the Austrian Northwest Railway (ÖNWB) as a construction locomotive. ATE finally acquired the vehicle in 1899 from the Prague construction company Schön & Söhne , which had taken over the construction of the Leitmeritz - Böhmisch Leipa section of the North Bohemian Transversal Railway . The ATE gave it track number 8 and the name KRAUSS as a second line-up . To distinguish it from the already existing local train locomotives of the X series , it was given the series designation Xa.
ATE initially used the locomotive as a construction locomotive on the local railway Böhmisch Leipa – Niemes , which was prepared in 1899/1900 as part of the new North Bohemian Transversal Railway for the intended continuous main line operation. After the construction work was completed, it was used as a shunting locomotive in the ATE workshops in Aussig . In the course of a general overhaul, it received a new boiler in 1901, which was supplied by the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik with the serial number 4416.
After the nationalization of ATE in 1923 and its takeover by the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD), it no longer received a ČSD number. The ČSD sold them to the sugar factory in Kralupy in 1924 , where they were used for internal shunting. When it was sorted out and scrapped there in 1958 after a failed boiler test, it had been in operation for a total of 88 years.
