The class G were tank locomotives of the anonymous Luxemburgische Prinz-Heinrich-Eisenbahn- und Erzgrubengesellschaft (PH).
history
In 1904, the PH purchased three quadruple-coupled freight train tender locomotives from the Belgian company La Meuse . Identical locomotives were also supplied by La Meuse to numerous industrial companies. They were intended primarily for shunting and for pushing on the Pétange – Bois Châtier railway line . In 1922, the vehicles built as wet steam locomotives were converted to superheated steam.
When the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the PH in 1942 , the locomotives with the numbers 92 2701-2703 were assigned to the numbering scheme. After the Second World War, only the 92 2703 was left in Luxembourg, but the two other locomotives reappeared and were brought to Luxembourg in 1945/46. The newly founded Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) classified the machines as series 40 in their numbering scheme.
Until 1952, all three locomotives were in the CFL's inventory, at the end of 1957 there were none in the inventory.
