The KrOs V – VI were steam locomotives of the Krakow-Upper Silesian Railway (KrOs) Austria-Hungary .

The two locomotives were delivered by Borsig in Berlin in 1847.

When the KrOs was nationalized in 1850, the two machines came to the kk Eastern State Railways (ÖStB), which gave them the names PODGÓRZE and RZESZÓW .

In 1858 the ÖStB was re-privatized, with parts of the lines coming to the KFNB and the Galician Carl Ludwig-Bahn (CLB). The vehicle fleet, however, went entirely to the CLB. This is why the two machines discussed here came to the CLB, which it retired in 1863.
