The KrOs I – IV were steam locomotives of the Krakow-Upper Silesian Railway (KrOs) Austria-Hungary .

The four locomotives were delivered by Borsig in Berlin in 1847.

When the KrOs was nationalized in 1850, the four machines came to the kk Eastern State Railroad (ÖStB), which gave them the names KRAKÓW , OSWIĘCIM , LEMBERG and TARNÓW .

In 1858 the ÖStB was re-privatized, with parts of the lines coming to the KFNB and the Galician Carl Ludwig-Bahn (CLB). The vehicle fleet, however, went entirely to the CLB. This is why the four machines discussed here came to the CLB, which the KRAKÓW and LEMBERG retired as early as 1864, assigned the other two company numbers 1 and 2 in 1868, before they were also removed from the inventory in 1873.
