The vehicles of the type Xc , from 1868 VI old, were passenger locomotives of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways .

They were intended for the steep routes in the Odenwald and the Black Forest . The locomotives were therefore correspondingly powerful. A train with 170 t could be pulled at 22 km / h on a gradient of 12.5 per thousand. The locomotive KNIEBIS , which was involved in the Hugstetten accident in 1882 , achieved sad fame . There was no suspected connection between the design of the locomotive and the accident. Due to the maximum speed set at 50 km / h, it was not possible to use it in scheduled passenger train service. That is why the locomotives were used exclusively for freight trains and shunting trips. As early as 1894, the decommissioning began, which was almost completely completed in 1907.

The locomotives had an internal sheet metal frame and an external two-cylinder wet steam engine. It turned out that the grate area in the first locomotives was relatively small in relation to the piston stroke. It was therefore enlarged from the year of construction 1868/69. Many technical innovations were tried out on these locomotives. For example, locomotive No. 228 had a Lechatelier type back pressure brake instead of the screw brake. While the vehicles built between 1864 and 1886 only had a relatively simple draft shield, the last delivery series had a fully developed driver's cab with a front wall and side walls with windows.
