The steam locomotives Tiroler Staatsbahn - Achensee to Tirol were support-tender locomotives of the Tyrolean State Railways Austria-Hungary of the Engerth type .

The eight locomotives were delivered by Maffei in 1856. They were given the names “ACHENSEE”, “AMBRAS”, “HALL”, “INN”, “INNSBRUCK”, “KUFSTEIN”, “MARTINSWAND” and “TIROL”. They were used on the northern route of the Tyrolean State Railway Innsbruck - Kufstein . Since the Brenner Railway had not yet been built, it was never used on the southern Verona - Bozen line .

The locomotives of this series came to the Südbahngesellschaft in 1858 as part of the privatization of the Austrian State Railways , which assigned them the numbers 593–600 and the series number 18 . From 1864 they were given the series number 25 and the numbers 600-608. The decommissioning took place until 1896.
