The vehicles of type II c of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways were express train steam locomotives .

The vehicles succeeded the classes II a and II b , but were completely redesigned. In a departure from the previous practice of the Baden State Railways, these locomotives developed by the Elsässische Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Grafenstaden based on the English model had an inner frame made of sheet metal and internal cylinders. The bogie was of modern design and had a long wheelbase, and the coupling wheels were enlarged to 2,100 mm.

This enabled the running properties to be significantly improved compared to the previous designs. During test drives, the machines ran very quietly at 120 km / h, so that - for the first time in Germany - the maximum permissible speed could be set at 110 km / h. The locomotives could pull a 260 ton train at this speed. The locomotives were used on the flat routes in the Rhine Valley.

On the last five machines - also for the first time in Germany - a windshield driver's cab was used, and the smoke chamber was also clad in a streamlined manner. All locomotives had a relatively low circulation and wheel protection boxes that covered almost half of the large drive wheels.

The locomotives were initially equipped with type 3 T 15.5 tenders . From 1897 the type 2'2 'T 15.3 was used. This meant that the route from Mannheim or Heidelberg to Basel could be made without changing locomotives.

In 1919 nine copies were given to France as part of the reparations payments . The ETAT gave them the designation 220-902 to 220-910.

Five vehicles were planned for the Deutsche Reichsbahn . According to the 1923 redesignation plan, they were to be redrawn as class 36.73. Numbers 36 7351, 36 7361 to 36 7371, 36 7381 to 36 7382 and 36 1101 to 36 1106 were planned. There was no definitive redesign as they were retired by 1925.
