The class G ' were tank locomotives of the anonymous Luxemburgische Prinz-Heinrich-Eisenbahn- und Erzgrubengesellschaft (PH).
history
In 1906, the PH procured three quadruple-coupled goods train tender locomotives from the German company Borsig . Locomotives of almost identical construction were later exported to South America and Eastern Europe by Borsig. They were intended primarily for shunting on the Esch – Athus railway line . In 1925/26, 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 2711-2713 were included in the numbering scheme.
After the Second World War, only the 92 2712 was left in Luxembourg in 1944, but the two other locomotives reappeared and were brought to Luxembourg in 1945. The newly founded Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) classified the machines as series 42 in their numbering scheme.
Until 1952 all three locomotives located in Pétange were in the inventory of the CFL, at the end of 1954 there were none in the inventory.
