The H series were passenger train tender locomotives of the anonymous Luxembourgish Prince Heinrich Railway and Ore Mine Company (PH).
history
When the PH purchased new, heavier passenger cars after 1900, it also needed new locomotives because the existing locomotives were too weak. In order to avoid turning at the end points, the new locomotive series should achieve acceptable running characteristics forwards and backwards. The choice therefore fell on tank locomotives. In 1908, five vehicles were purchased from the German company Borsig for 345,000 francs. Together with the H 'series (which was essentially based on the H series) and I , it was the only standard gauge steam locomotives that were specially designed for Luxembourg.
Between 1922 and 1932, the wet steam locomotives were converted to superheated steam.
When the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the PH in 1942 , the locomotives with the numbers 75 641–645 were classified in the numbering scheme.
After the Second World War, only the 75 642 was left in Luxembourg in 1944. A machine reappeared on the Merzig – Büschfeld railway and was brought to Luxembourg in 1945. The newly founded Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) classified the machines as series 33 in their numbering scheme. The three remaining machines were in the greater Leipzig area after the end of the war and remained in the Soviet occupation zone .
The locomotives at the CFL were retired in 1954, those at the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1946, 1949 and 1955.
