The steam locomotive kkStB 100.01 was a mountain express train - steam locomotive of the kk state railways Austria .

Since even the 380 series was too weak for the growing passenger traffic on the Tauern Railway , which  opened in 1909 , Karl Gölsdorf designed an even more powerful mountain locomotive. He dared to take the step to the first really practical six-coupled locomotive. As with the predecessor types kkStB 170 , kkStB 180 , kkStB 280 and kkStB 380 , he used Richard von Helmholtz 's ideas for the lateral movement of the axles in order to achieve suitable easy cornering.

The 100.01 , which was delivered  by the Floridsdorf locomotive factory in 1911, easily met the requirements placed on it in operation. It carried 360 t at 40 km / h over the 28 ‰ gradients of the Tauern Railway. Like some locomotives of the 380 series, the 100.01 was also equipped with an oil furnace. The maximum speed achieved was 85 km / h, the indicated output was 2020 hp, making it 20% stronger than the 380 series.

After the First World War, the unique item remained with the BBÖ , which valued it very much because of its pulling power. However, the extreme lightweight construction soon had a negative impact. The envisaged electrification program prevented a repeat order, which could have eliminated various defects. The breakage of an inner high-pressure cylinder finally meant the end of this unique locomotive in 1928.

The Royal Württemberg State Railways took the 100.01 as a model for their Württembergische K , which is also six-coupled .
