history

The manufacturers Fablok and Cegielski had each built three prototypes of quadruple-coupled express locomotives. The Pu29 from Cegielski , which was too long for many turntables due to its overall axle position, was defeated in the competition by the Pt31 from Fablok, which also had a greater boiler output. After the Polish campaign , the Pu29-2 remained in German ownership, but was not taken over into the inventory of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . The other two locomotives were registered by the Soviet NKPS in September 1939 . These were also German booty in the German-Soviet War and added to the inventory of the Deutsche Reichsbahn as 12 201 (Pu29-3) and 12 202 (Pu29-1).

Pu29-3 in the Warsaw Railway Museum (2017)

After the war the Pu29-1 was in the western zone . At the direction of the occupiers, it was scrapped in 1951 due to a lack of steel during the Korean War. Pu29-3 had remained in Czechoslovakia and was returned to the PKP on April 27, 1949. The PKP initially classified the locomotive as Pt31-46, but later changed that to Pu29-1. In 1970 she was retired.

The locomotive has been preserved as an exhibit in the Kościerzyna Railway Museum. It has been in the Warsaw Railway Museum since 2012 .
