The USATC Class S 100 were war locomotives of the United States Army Transportation Corps (USATC) for shunting . These locomotives had to be usable worldwide and therefore comply with the English vehicle gauge, which is one of the smallest. A total of 382 pieces were made by Porter , Vulcan and Davenport . The machines were coal-fired, but also oil-fired.
The S 100 in Great Britain
The first S 100 came to Great Britain from July 1942 . Some machines were used by the British military and designated WD (War Department), some were leased to British railway companies (such as the Great Western Railway ). The remainder were kept in stock to be used in continental Europe after the invasion. The rented machines were soon returned to the USATC administration.
The S 100 in continental Europe
After the Allied invasion on June 6, 1944, the USATC S 100 began delivering to continental Europe. The first machines came from England, where they had already been kept in stock for this purpose, and later also directly from the USA. The first rendition consisted of six pieces that came to Cherbourg in June 1944 .
After the end of the Second World War , locomotives of the USATC S 100 class were used in some European and non-European countries.
The S 100 in North Africa and Italy
Five locomotives came to North Africa in 1943 , from where they were shipped to Italy in 1944 . One machine was sold to a private company, the remaining four to the FS , which it classified as 831.001-004 . The four locomotives were retired in 1953.
The S 100 in Great Britain after the Second World War
After the end of the Second World War S 100 were relatively cheap to acquire, so that 14 pieces were bought by the Southern Railway for shunting purposes , which were given the numbers 61-74 . The machines underwent minor modifications, came to British Rail as 30061–30074 in 1948 and were retired by 1967.
The S 100 in France
After the end of the war there were 77 S 100 units on French territory. All 77 were bought by the SNCF in 1948 and classified as 030TU 1-77 . The last ones were not retired until the end of steam traction in France in 1971.
The S 100 in Austria
After the Second World War , the ÖBB took over ten S 100s. According to their manufacturers, the 10 machines were classified as ÖBB 989.01–05 (Vulcan), 989.101–103 (Davenport) and 989.201–202 (Porter). The 989.01 came to the Siegendorf sugar factory as a factory locomotive in 1963 ; of all the locomotives in this series, it remained in service the longest. The other machines were retired in 1968.
The S 100 in Yugoslavia
In 1946 106 (probably even 120) S 100s came to Yugoslavia . They were classified as JDŽ 62.001–106 ; the remaining machines were probably spare parts donors.
Probably mainly for use in factories, Đuro Đaković built locomotives based on the model of the S 100 in Slavonski Brod . 23 of these machines came to the JDŽ as 62,107–129 . The others were given numbers in the areas 62.3, 62.5 and 62.6.
At the beginning of the 21st century there were still a few class 62 units in factory traffic in industrial companies in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 2013, only one machine, 62 020, was in use in the Breza coal mine near Sarajevo.
The S 100 in Greece
In 1947 20 S 100s came to Greece . They were classified as SEK Δα 51–70 (Da 51–70) and were still in use in 1980.
The S 100 in other countries
In addition to the ones listed above, S 100s came to the Middle East and Iraq , Jamaica and China , where they were designated as Class XK2 .
Received S 100
The 989.01 in Austria, the 30064 and 30065 in Great Britain as well as the DS238 Wainwright (30070, in the colors of the BR), the JDŽ 62.029, the Granite Rock No. 10 in the California State Railroad Museum and the SNCF 030TU 13. The 62-074 built by Vulcan stands as a memorial in Ruma in Serbia. One copy is located as a prop in a film studio near Cairo .
Licensed buildings
The Djuro Djakovic locomotive factory in Croatia built 90 locomotives under license , the last series between 1951 and 1961. A sheet metal frame was used instead of the American bar frame. Of these replicas, locomotives 62 670 and 62 676 were still operational in Kosovo in 2010 at the company Transporti Hekurudhor Kastriot, which used these machines in the coal-fired power stations of the energy supplier KEK near Pristina . There was also 62 636 available as a spare part donor. A fourth locomotive of the series was in use at the Kostolac power plant in Serbia . This mission ended in 2013. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, two machines of this type are still in plan service in 2013: one in the Zenica coal mine and one in the Đurđevik coal mine . Another locomotive is operational as a reserve in Banovići and Bujinje near Tuzla.
