The class I were tender locomotives of the anonymous Luxemburgische Prinz-Heinrich-Eisenbahn- und Erzgrubengesellschaft (PH).
history
In 1913, the PH purchased five five-way coupled freight train tender locomotives from the German company Schwartzkopff . The machines were intended primarily for freight trains on routes with low permissible axle pressure. Although the Prussian G 10 already had a powerful locomotive for the requirement profile, new locomotives were designed. Together with the H and H 'series, they were the only standard gauge steam locomotives that were specially designed for Luxembourg.
When the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the PH in 1942 , the locomotives with the numbers 57 901-905 were classified in the numbering scheme.
After the Second World War, only the 57 901 and 904 were left in Luxembourg in 1944, but the three other locomotives reappeared and were brought to Luxembourg in 1945/46. The newly founded Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) classified the machines as series 51 in their numbering scheme.
The vehicles were stationed in Pétange until 1949, after the delivery of the brand new 55 series they were handed over to Bettembourg. There they did the shunting service at the marshalling yard and hauled local goods trains.
In 1954 two machines were retired, the remaining three in 1959.
