The SStB - Cilli to Monfalcone were steam locomotives of the Southern State Railway (SStB) of Austria-Hungary .

The 22 locomotives were supplied by the WRB locomotive factory in 1848 (14 pieces) and 1850 (eight pieces). They were known under the name of Kleine Gloggnitz , as they proved themselves very well on the "mountain route" from Wiener Neustadt to Gloggnitz . (The subsequent Semmering Railway was not built yet.)

The vehicles were given the names CILLI , STEINBRÜCK , Laško , Rohitsch , KLAGENFURT , MEETING , Sagor , Prevali , Regent (later WOLFSBERG ) FERLACH , RANN , ADELBERG , Zirknitz , Pontafel , Eibiswald , SAN , JUDENBURG , GÖRZ , BLEIBURG , GRADISCA , DUINO and MONFALCONE .

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 809–830 and the series number 15a . The MONFALCONE was sold to the Prague Iron Industry Company in 1861 . The remaining machines were taken out of service by 1865, although the last machines had been shut down for a long time because they were no longer included in the new series scheme from 1864.

Seven vehicles were initially rented to the Graz-Köflacher Eisenbahn (GKB) in 1864 , five of which were later sold. In detail, these were the CILLI , STEINBRÜCK , PREVALI , WOLFSBERG (formerly REICHSVERWESER ) and FERLACH . At GKB they were given the names GRAZ , SÖDING , LIEBOCH , KREMS and KAINACH . Together with the MUR , these five machines formed the GKB numbers 1–6. GÖRZ and JUDENBURG were only rented out, but already taken out of service before they could be sold . Today the SÖDING is located in the Technical Museum Vienna, restored to its original condition with the name STEINBRÜCK .
