The NÖLB Uv was a narrow gauge - Tender Locomotive row of the Lower Austrian State Railways (NÖLB).
history
In 1903 and 1905, the NÖLB procured a total of three more powerful locomotives based on the U series with composite steam engines, which were to be used on the Waldviertel narrow-gauge railways and the Pielachtalbahn (the valley section of the Mariazellerbahn ). This type, known as Uv , was also ordered by the kkStB and the Zillertalbahn , as well as after the First World War by the Polish state railway PKP .
All three locomotives of the NÖLB, which remained with the ÖBB and were designated as 298.205-207 , and those of the Zillertalbahn have been preserved, some of them operational. 298.205 was reactivated by the ÖGLB after years on the monument base and has since been used on the mountain route of the Ybbstalbahn . The 298.207 was the last machine in its series to be in use on the Waldviertel narrow-gauge railways until 1994; it was the last steam locomotive with interconnected drive for the ÖBB. It is now located in the heating house of Ober-Grafendorf on the Mariazellerbahn, its recommissioning is a long-term project of the Club Mh.6, which is located there.
The Uv range in Poland
In 1904 the kkStB acquired four Uv series locomotives for the Przeworsk – Dynów local railway in Galicia. Only one of these locomotives came into the PKP's inventory after 1918. As a replacement for the machines lost in World War I , the PKP had two Uv locomotives built in 1925. After 1945 the narrow-gauge lines of the PKP were converted to the standardized gauges of 600, 750 and 1000 mm and two of the locomotives were then decommissioned.
The Uv range in Czechoslovakia
A Uv series locomotive remained on the narrow-gauge railways in Jindřichův Hradec ( Neuhaus ) (today: Jindřichohradecké místní dráhy ) after 1945 and was classified as U 37.101 by the Czechoslovak State Railways ČSD. In 1950 the loner was returned to the ÖBB and received there the number 298.205. The locomotive was preserved and is now part of the Ybbsthalbahn mountain line museum railway .
