The Tyrolean State Railways - Amras to Vintschgau were steam locomotives of the Tyrolean State Railways Austria-Hungary .

The 18 locomotives were delivered by the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik in 1856. They were used on the southern route of the Tyrolean State Railway Verona - Bozen . Since the Brenner Railway had not yet been built, it was never used on the northern Innsbruck - Kufstein route .

The locomotives of this series came to the Südbahngesellschaft in 1858 as part of the privatization of Austrian State Railways , which assigned them the numbers 252-269 and the series number 7 . From 1861 they received the series number 13 . After renovations, the 259 and 264 were given the series designation 13a . Since the type 1'B1 was not suitable for mountain routes, the locomotives were moved to Eastern Austria.

The 268 and 269 were converted into tank locomotives and were given the series number 13b . In the course of the renovation, they received a water tank on the right side of the boiler that held 2.75 m³. Space for 1.5 m³ of coal had been created behind the driver's cab. This also increased the weight of the machines somewhat. The two locomotives were used on the Laxenburger Bahn , whereby the cumbersome turning of the locomotives in Mödling was no longer necessary. Before that, the locomotive and tender had to be turned separately because the turntable was too small.

All machines were taken out of service by 1894.
