The steam locomotive series SB 23 (here for better differentiation SB old 23 were called) freight train - Tender locomotive of the Austrian Southern Railway .
The predecessor railways of the Südbahn had a very inconsistent inventory of freight locomotives. The Südbahn therefore had a triple-coupled freight locomotive redeveloped based on the French " Bourbonnais " model. The series was initially designated 23 , and from 1864 29 . The StEG locomotive factory delivered 20 pieces in 1860, which proved themselves so well that by 1872 a total of 205 pieces had been built by this factory, the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik and the Esslingen machine factory .
In the course of time there were of course various modifications: from 1861 the driver's cab, in the 1880s vacuum brakes with silencers, new boilers, ... After the nationalization in 1924, the Austrian Federal Railways (then BBÖ) received 47 units, which they classified as class 49 . Yugoslavia referred to the locomotives it received as the JDŽ 124 series . With the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) they were 332 and in Italy FS 193 .
After the annexation of Austria , the Deutsche Reichsbahn designated the locomotives as 53 7111–7116 . After the Second World War , ÖBB only took one of the machines that remained in Austria into its fleet, the 153.7114 , but withdrew it as early as 1953.
The BBÖ had sold some machines to the Graz-Köflacher Bahn (GKB) in the 1920s . One of them, the GKB 671 , is still operational today with small modifications such as a compressed air brake, thanks to a building block campaign by the StEF ( Styrian Railway Friends ). With its year of construction in 1860 it is the longest-serving steam locomotive in the world, which (apart from repair work) was in operation without interruption ( the East Indian Railway's Fairy Queen locomotive is 5 years older, but has since been out of service for a long time). It is put into operation several times a year and used for special trips.
In Hungary , the locomotives were used on the Budapest - Nagykanizsa , Pécs - Barcs and Pécs - Mohács routes. One locomotive (the SB 674) has been preserved and came to Hungary as part of a locomotive exchange from the ÖBB workshop in Mürzzuschlag , after it had previously been restored there. Now it is in the Budapest Transport Museum as the oldest preserved locomotive in Hungary.
Another copy is in the Railway Museum in Ljubljana and in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin . These two locomotives are also the oldest preserved original locomotives of the respective state.
