The steam locomotive series kkStB 25 was an express train locomotive series of the kk Austrian State Railways (kkStB), whose locomotives were intended for the Galician Transversal Railway (Gal.Tr.).

kkStB 25

The locomotives of this series were supplied by the StEG's Lokomotivfabrik to the kkStB, which they initially referred to as 1101-10, 45 and 46. The kkStB later classified the locomotives as  25.01-12 . They were stationed in Lviv .

After the First World War , the remaining copies came to the Polish State Railways (PKP), which they decommissioned without assigning them their own serial number.

EWA IIb

The EWA IIb series was a series of locomotives with a tender operated by the Vienna-Aspang Railway (EWA). Originally referred to as Series III , it had the axle formula 1Bn2 and was built by the StEG locomotive factory in 1885. The three machines were identical to the kkStB series 25.

In the new designation scheme , the locomotives were classified as Series IIb with the numbers 15-17 . They were coupled with tenders 3T-9.3 / 4.0, service weight 28.5 t. The locomotive with the number 15 was retired in 1922.

When the BBÖ took over the Vienna – Aspang railway on lease in 1937, the remaining machines in this series were not given a BBÖ number. The Deutsche Reichsbahn, however, classified them in 1938 as 52 7001–7002. Because of the delivery of the DR class 52 war locomotives , the machines were given the numbers 53 7801 and 53 7802 from 1942.

Both locomotives survived the Second World War , but were no longer included in the designation scheme of the ÖBB , but rather retired in 1955 and 1949.
