The steam locomotives WIES to GR. FLORIAN were steam locomotives of the Graz – Köflacher Bahn (GKB), a private Austrian-Hungarian railway company .

The 13 locomotives were delivered to GKB by the StEG locomotive factory in 1872 and 1873 . John Haswell caused a stir with this type of locomotive. The construction was well thought out, had a large fire box that protruded beyond the frame and the wheels and a boiler that was very high for the time. The series became known as the Stainz-Type because the STAINZ was exhibited at the Vienna World Exhibition in 1873 and caused a sensation.

The Südbahngesellschaft (SB), which operated on the GKB from 1878 to 1923, lined up the machines as number 24 with a second line-up with the operating numbers 141–153. After 1923 all machines came to Yugoslavia and were taken out of service until 1922.
