The EWA IIIc series was a series of locomotives with a tender operated by the Vienna-Aspang Railway (EWA). Originally known as the TLa series, it had the axle formula Cn2t and was built as a tank locomotive by the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik in 1879. In 1893 the machines of this series were converted to locomotives with a tender. The boiler pressure could be increased from 9 to 10 bar. The table shows the values after the conversion.
In the new designation scheme , the converted locomotives were classified as Series IIIc with the numbers 7-10 . They were coupled with tenders 3T-9.3 / 4.0, service weight 28.5 t.
When the BBÖ took over the Vienna – Aspang railway on lease in 1937, the machines in this series were not given a BBÖ number. The Deutsche Reichsbahn, however, classified them in 1938 as 53.7301–7304. The 53.7304 came to ČSD in 1945 and was the last of its series to be retired in 1949.
