history
The first five-coupled tank locomotives were delivered by Borsig to the Upper Silesian Sand Railways as early as 1913 . (see: GA No. 1 )
In 1936 the Berliner Maschinenbau AG BMAG manufactured a 1'E1 'h2 locomotive for the Preußische Bergwerks- und Hütten AG, which, with an axle mass of 23 t, was one of the two heaviest tank locomotives ever used in Germany. It was given lane number 9.
Another locomotive with similar technical parameters had already been delivered by the Borsig-Lokomotivwerke to the Preußische Bergwerks- und Hütten AG in 1936.
After the Second World War, the company's mining facilities in Upper Silesia were expropriated by the Polish state. After 1945, the locomotive was taken over by the newly established state sand railway Przedsiębiorstwo Materiałów Podsadzkowych Przemysłu Węglowego (PMPPW) and given the new number TKz-226. Their whereabouts are unknown.
