The steam locomotives of the kkStB series 30 are machines that were specially developed for operation on the inner-city routes of the Vienna Stadtbahn , where they hauled trains from up to ten of the associated Stadtbahn cars.
history
After the decision to build the light rail in 1892, Karl Gölsdorf began to build a light rail locomotive for the new inner-city routes. Rapid start-up characteristics with short station spacing were required on the sometimes narrow curved tracks and many inclines.
The first locomotive was delivered in 1895 with a 1'C1 'n2vt wheel arrangement. During the test drive it reached a speed of 97 km / h with a smooth run. The maximum speed was set at 60 km / h. The second test locomotive was given a modified arrangement of wheels and controls that better met the requirements for reversing and was retained for series production. A total of 113 machines were built up to 1901 (30.01–99 and 130.01–14, the latter later than 30.101–114). 62 locomotives belonged to the Commission for Transport Systems in Vienna , one of the Niederlindewiese – Barzdorf local railway in Austrian Silesia , the rest to the kkStB. The machines of the Commission for Transport Systems also had a sign with the letters "VA" on the buffer chest.
The locomotives of the Stadtbahn ran from the beginning, based on the Berlin model , with train destination signs on the smoke chamber door or on the tender , as is a matter of course today. The machine 30.83, delivered in 1899, was a specialty. It was the only one of its type to be delivered with a condensation device to reduce the formation of moisture in the tunnel tubes. A discharge pipe led from the low-pressure cylinder to a special part of the left water tank, in which the steam was condensed. A ventilation pipe passed over the roof of the driver's cab was supposed to divert the vapor clouds remaining in the condensation space. A switching device allowed the exhaust steam to be routed either in the normal way into the blowpipe or into the condensation room, as required. The facility was not well received and was soon dismantled.
After the First World War, all series 30 machines remained in Austria. After the steam-powered light rail operations were discontinued , the locomotives were mainly used in the Vienna and Linz directorates , but also partly in Villach and Innsbruck . However, they corresponded best to the conditions in the area around Vienna. In the 1930s, 13 locomotives were sold to the Graz-Köflacher Railway (GKB).
When the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the locomotives in 1938, the 32 locomotives still in existence were assigned to the 90.10 series with the serial numbers 1001 to 1032. Locomotive number 1033 was added later, but there was no 1005. After the end of the Second World War , eight locomotives remained in Hieflau . The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) kept the numbers, but in 1953 they added a dot between the master number and the ordinal number. These locomotives were retired by 1957. The remaining machines were in the Soviet zone, they were claimed as Soviet loot (recognizable by the letter T in front of the locomotive number) and were decommissioned by 1953. They were no longer part of the ÖBB operating portfolio.
Preserved machines
The 30.33 in the Strasshof Railway Museum was handed over to the Graz-Köflacher Railway (GKB) in 1934 and retired in 1960. Originally, the GKB locomotives 30.109 and 30.114 were intended for a railway museum.
