The Palatinate G 3/3 were steam freight locomotives of the Palatinate network of the Royal Bavarian State Railways .
description
The four steam locomotives originally intended for the ONCF in Morocco were acquired by the Palatinate Railways in 1919 from the Maffei company. Two of these machines had steel fire rifles . Due to their unusual design, they could not be used together with other machines, which led to their early retirement in 1924, although the Deutsche Reichsbahn provided them for the numbers 53 501–504 in the provisional designation plan of 1923.
