The LG series Tk was a series of passenger train - tank locomotives of the Lithuanian state railway Lietuvos geležinkeliai (LG) h2t with the wheel arrangement 1'B2 '. The locomotives were developed and built by Škoda in Plzeň in 1932 .
history
The Tk series is one of the few new locomotives acquired by LG in the period between the beginning of Lithuanian independence in 1918 and the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in 1940. The four tank locomotives were intended for use in front of passenger trains due to their wheel alignment and maximum speed. After they were delivered by Škoda under the serial numbers 751 to 754, they also took over express train services. They carried the express train Berlin - Königsberg - Tilsit - Radviliškis - Daugavpils ( Daugavpils ) between Pagegiai , the Lithuanian border station near Tilsit, and Obeliai , the border station to Latvia. On the 143 km long Pagėgiai – Radviliškis section, the locomotives achieved a scheduled journey time of 127 minutes. In 1939 they were replaced in the express train service by the new and considerably more powerful Gp series , also supplied by Škoda to LG .
Only the two machines with company numbers 12 and 14, which were found in Austria in 1945, survived the turmoil of World War II . Both locomotives were driven off by the Soviet Union as part of the reparations payments in 1948 , the locomotive with the original road number 14 went to the PKP , which included it in its vehicle fleet with the designation Okf 100-1 but never used it. Locomotive 12 was probably parked in Staßfurt until at least 1953 .
