The ANHALT , BRAUNSCHWEIG and PREUSSEN were narrow-gauge tank locomotives of the Mallet type of the Gernrode-Harzgeroder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (GHE).
history
The three locomotives were procured for the meter- gauge narrow - gauge railway Stiege – Eisfelder Talmühle , as the existing three-axle locomotives ( SELKE to HASSELFELDE ) were too weak. The machines were built by Borsig in 1905 with the serial numbers 5465, 5466 and 5467 . The name was given after the three territories of Anhalt , Braunschweig and Prussia , which were run by the GHE.
The three locomotives, which have proven themselves in service, were drawn into the Army Field Railway for military service after the outbreak of the First World War in November 1914 . The GHE did not get the machines back after the end of the war. The ANHALT and BRAUNSCHWEIG with the road numbers 201 and 202 were used by the French railway company Compagnie des Chemins de fer du Nord-Est until the 1950s .
