The BLE 44 tank locomotive of the Braunschweigische Landeseisenbahn (BLE) was procured for mixed passenger and freight train operations. The locomotive built by Krupp in 1934 had a 1'D1 ' wheel arrangement and a two-cylinder superheated steam engine . The leading and trailing axles were stored in Bissel racks. Rather unusual for such a locomotive was the equipment with smoke deflectors , which directly connected to the side water tanks and reached up to the front buffer beam.
The locomotive was intended for the transport of freight trains with a load of 635 t on the plain at a speed of 70 km / h. On gradients of 5 ‰, 500 t tensile load was still possible at 50 km / h.
DR 79 001 "
After the BLE was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn , the locomotive was given road number 79 001 in its second occupation in 1938 (the Saxon XV HTV with this number had been retired in 1933).
DEG 261
The locomotive survived the Second World War and was sold to the Deutsche Eisenbahn Gesellschaft (DEG) in 1947. There it was given the number 261 and was rented as a rental locomotive to various railway companies in the group, such as the Braunschweig-Schöninger Eisenbahn , Kleinbahn AG Höchst-Königstein , Teutoburger Wald-Eisenbahn and, from September 4, 1966, again to Kleinbahn AG Höchst -Königstein. There it was decommissioned on May 11, 1968 after a farewell trip and scrapped in March 1973 on the open loading siding of the Königstein freight yard.
The series number 79 001 was assigned in the third occupation from 1951 to the former French and after the end of the war in German possession 242 TA-602 .
