The steam locomotive series kkStB 6 was a fast - Tender Lokomotiv series of kk Austrian National Railways (kkStB).

history

The kkStB series 6 was the first creation by Karl Gölsdorf in the kkStB design office. Since the express train locomotives used in the 1890s were too weak due to increasing train weights, Gölsdorf designed the considerably stronger class 6 as a compound machine to replace the 4 series . The boiler was half a meter higher than row 4. Row 6 was a resounding success. She drove without problems at 130 km / h, continuous power of 800 hp and peak power of 1000 hp. On the flat she pulled 210 t at 100 km / h; on a 10 ‰ slope, the speed did not drop below 58 km / h. The maximum speed allowed was 90 km / h. A total of 68 units were delivered by the Floridsdorf locomotive factory , the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik and the StEG locomotive factory .

With the number 6, the travel time Vienna - Prague could be reduced from twelve to eight hours! The locomotives were also used on the Vienna – Eger , Prague – Linz and Vienna – Salzburg routes. Of course, they also hauled the Orient Express , the Ostend Express and the spa trains to Karlsbad .

After the First World War , 20 pieces came to the Austrian Federal Railways (BBÖ). 28 units formed the 264.0 series on the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD)  . At the Polish State Railways AG (PKP) nine pieces were classified as the  Pd12 series. The remaining machines were war losses or were eliminated before they were included in the series scheme of the various railway companies. The BBÖ withdrew their machines until 1932, the ČSD until 1938.
