The steam locomotives StEG I 600-711 were freight train - Tender locomotive of the State Railway Company (StEG).

Due to the topographical conditions of the routes it operated, the StEG had to switch to four-coupled freight locomotives as early as 1868. From 1868 to 1880, 75 units were delivered by the company's own locomotive factory , by the Esslingen machine factory and by Borsig . With their tall steam domes with connecting pipes, the machines had a very ancient appearance, to which the riveted counterweights on the wheels also contributed. However, around 1900 most of them got new boilers. The locomotives were stationed in Stadlau , Brno and Böhmisch Trübau , among others .

Of the numbers 600–711, only 600–637 and 698–711 were occupied. In the second designation scheme of the StEG, the vehicles received the numbers 1112–1149 and 1210–1223 and the category V. In addition, the numbers 1224–1246 were occupied with newly built locomotives of this type. In the third designation scheme of the StEG, the vehicles were given the designation 4201–4273.

In the course of the nationalization of the Hungarian routes of the StEG, 42 of these vehicles came to MÁV as IVb 4201–4242 , which they assigned to the 459 series in 1911. The kkStB arranged them after the nationalization as a series of  571 a.

After the First World War , 40 units came to the BBÖ and 31 to the ČSD , which from 1924 onwards classified them as the 401.0 series . The two remaining machines came to PKP , which they soon retired.

The Deutsche Reichsbahn lined up three copies in 1938 as 55 7001–7003. All three survived World War II and, like the last Czech 401.0, were eliminated in 1952 .

Chemins de fer Orientaux (CFO) received four identically constructed locomotives in 1878 from the StEG locomotive factory for the railway from Ruse to Varna in today's Bulgaria with the numbers 243 to 246, which was then in the European part of the Ottoman Empire . In 1888 they and their route were transferred to the newly founded Bulgarian state railway Balgarski Darschawni Schelesnizi (BDŽ), which they took over with the numbers 1243 to 1246, but from 1908 re-assigned them the old CFO numbers. They were retired from BDŽ before 1936.
