The BORSDORF to ZITTAU were tender locomotives of the Leipzig-Dresden Railway Compagnie for mixed service.

history

Between 1866 and 1868, the Leipzig-Dresden Railway procured a total of 20 locomotives in three series from the Esslingen machine factory ( Emil Keßler ). They had a four-sided dome standing boiler, an internal control of the Stephenson design and Kirchweger exhaust steam condensation .

At the LDE, the locomotives only had names, company numbers or a generic designation did not exist. When they were taken over by the Royal Saxon State Railways in 1876, they kept their names, unless they had already been used elsewhere. In addition, they were given the company numbers 584 to 603 and were listed as class K III . In 1885 the generic name was changed to K II and in 1892 the new company numbers 676 to 695 were assigned. From 1896 the generic name was only II. From 1900 the company numbers were increased by 2000 and the nameplates were omitted; as the older machines were no longer fully in operation, the numbering was no longer consecutive.

The locomotives were retired by 1913.
