The steam locomotives "HEBE I" , "PROSERPINA" and "DAPHNE I" were passenger locomotives of the KFNB . They were delivered to the KFNB in 1852 by the locomotive factory of the Vienna-Gloggnitz railway company in Vienna with the axle formula 1B. They came from the first attempt by John Haswell , the head of the factory, to develop a standard type, and were similar to the locomotives described under “NESTOR” to “ARIADNE”, “BIHAR” to “Üllö” and “JASON II” . In contrast to these, however, they had inner cylinders like the older English machines.

The traditional dimensions differ greatly, which can be traced back to either modifications or incorrect information in the KFNB's locomotive lists.

Obviously they were not satisfied with the machines because they were retired in 1877 and 1878.
