The steam locomotive series kkStB 170 was a four-way coupled freight train - steam locomotive with a tender of the kk Austrian State Railways , which was also procured by the Austrian Southern Railway .

history

The former kkStB 170.666 as the ČSD museum locomotive 434.0170.

The increasing traffic on the Arlbergbahn meant that just two years after it opened, the 48 series three-  couplers could no longer suffice. Therefore, in 1897 Karl Gölsdorf developed the 170 series for passenger train service (!)  , A four-way coupled compound machine with a leading axle. The locomotives had two steam domes with connecting pipes. Gölsdorf skilfully put the theory of arc travel developed by Richard von Helmholtz into practice by allowing the running axis as well as the second and fourth coupling axis to each have a side play. This greatly reduced wear on wheel flanges and rails, which was very beneficial for the Austrian mountain routes. During the First World War , they were the mainstay in freight transport.

With 796 units (some were delivered in 1919), the 170 series reached the highest edition of all Austrian locomotive series. All Austrian locomotive factories were involved in their delivery.

The Südbahn also ordered 54 pieces for their mountain routes on Semmering and Brenner , all of which were supplied by the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik and differed only in details from the kkStB variant.

Two locomotives were delivered by Krauss in Linz to the Saxon State Railways in 1919 , which classified them in class IX V with the train numbers 1281 and 1282. The two locomotives were supposed to close the gaps in the Saxon locomotive inventory after the First World War and were sold to the BBÖ as early as 1922 by what is now the Deutsche Reichsbahn . The BBÖ gave the two locomotives the numbers 170.750 and 170.751.

After the First World War came Gros series 170 to the CSD , which they called series  434.0 designated. Until 1921, the ČSD had machines of this series built themselves, so that they had a total of 374 units. Most of them (345 pieces) were converted into superheated steam twin machines, whereby the smoke chamber door and the chimney were also changed. With the conversion, a 40% increase in performance was achieved. The converted machines were given the series designation  434.2 . The ČSD operated the locomotives of this series until 1980.

The FS received 116 machines, which they designated as the  729 series. More 170s came to the PKP as the Tr11 series  , to the railways of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and later as the 24 series  to the JDŽ and the CFR .

The BBÖ remained 228 units of the 170 series. After Austria was annexed to the German Reich , the Reichsbahn lined up 209 units as 56.3101-3309. In the course of the Second World War , former 170s from the successor states of the monarchy also came to the DR.

After the end of the war, the stock had shrunk extremely. GKB bought ten copies , nine were added to the series scheme of the ÖBB , which kept the designation as series  56 and decommissioned the last machine in 1957. At GKB, the 56.3115 remained operational for the time being as a museum locomotive, it was placed in the railway museum in Lieboch in 2002 after a boiler damage. The locomotive 56.3255 was handed over to the Jaroměř Railway Museum and can be seen there as 434.0170. Other copies have been preserved in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia.
