The tank locomotives KFBE 36 and 37 were built by the Jung Lokomotivfabrik for the Cologne-Frechen-Benzelrath Railway (KFBE). It entered service in 1936 and 1939 and, with five Humboldt locomotives, were the company's largest locomotives.
history
The locomotives with the E wheel arrangement were built in 1936 and 1939. With the other five-axle locomotives, they handled freight traffic between Cologne and Benzelrath . They were valued by the staff and were among the most powerful locomotives with the E wheel arrangement with Gölsdorf axles .
The KFBE 36 locomotive was in service until 1959. Then she got Westphalian Locomotive Factory Hattingen Karl Reuschling a general inspection and was then sold to the Gelsenkirchen Mining AG. There it was used at the Alma colliery with the designation E9 , was in operation there until 1968 and was then retired and scrapped.
The KFBE 37 locomotive was one of the last steam locomotives used by the KFBE and was retired in 1964. In 1965 it was scrapped.
technology
The locomotives consisted of parts that follow the standards for the einheitsdampflokomotive had been created. Axle arrangement and axis dimensions were similar to the Prussian T 16.1 . The long and very stable sheet metal frame was rolled out of one piece. All drive and coupling rod bearings were designed in two parts.
