The locomotives BLE 45 to 49 of the Braunschweigische Landeseisenbahn (BLE) were passenger train tank locomotives that were built by Krupp in 1935 and 1937 .
The locomotives were later designated as class 75.6 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and were used by the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and the Osthannoverschen Railways after they were sold . By 1970 all machines were taken out of service and scrapped.
history
Pre-war period
Due to the economically favorable location, the Braunschweigische Landeseisenbahnen ordered five locomotives from Krupp in the 1930s, which were built as a smaller variant of the BLE 44 between 1935 and 1937. The locomotives were mainly used in passenger train traffic on the Gliesmarode - Fallersleben and Derneburg - Seesen routes , but also in freight train service and on the run-off mountain .
DR 75.6
However, they could not extend their maximum speed of 75 km / h on the state railway network. With regard to the establishment of the Reichswerke Hermann Göring in Salzgitter , the BLE was nationalized on January 1, 1938, the locomotives were classified by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as 75 601 to 605 . All five locomotives remained in the Braunschweig area until the end of the war .
post war period
After the Second World War , there was no meaningful use for the locomotives of the splinter class . They were therefore sold to private railways .
OHE 75 099
The BLE 45 was sold to the Osthannoversche Eisenbahnen and designated as 75 099 . The locomotive ran here until 1964 and was then retired.
DEG 224-227
The BLE 46–49 were taken over by the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and designated as DEG 224–227 . The main area of application for the locomotives was the Braunschweig-Schöninger Railway , where they were in use until the end of the 1960s. The DEG 226 (formerly BLE 46 ) and DEG 227 (formerly BLE 47 ) are known to be used on the Moselle Railway , the DEG 226 from July 1959 to March 1963 and the DEG 227 from December 1954 to March 1963. The locomotives were mainly used here used for passenger train service as well as for heavy freight trains. Then they returned to Braunschweig and were scrapped there until 1970.
technology
The locomotives come from a series that was heavily standardized. Despite the wheel flange lubrication , they showed higher wear, which is why Krupp paid attention to better running properties. For example, steering axles were primarily used for the running axles and other components such as brakes, frames, lighting and preheaters were improved. The combination of water tank and smoke deflectors was characteristic.
The locomotives had a 1'C1 ' wheel arrangement and a two-cylinder superheated steam engine . The riveted kettle consisted of two sections, each with a sandpit. The food dome was on the front, the steam dome on the back shot. The boiler rested on a welded sheet metal frame, the three driving axles were firmly mounted in this, only the running axles were arranged laterally movable. The engine worked with the Heusinger control on the middle drive axle. The Knorr type compressed air brake acted on the drive wheels from the front. The equipment included a compressed air sand spreader , a Latowski type steam flume , a steam heating device and electrical lighting with a steam generator.
