The SStB - Ozean bis Wechsel were steam locomotives of the Southern State Railroad (SStB) of Austria-Hungary .

Since the 2B- compared to the 2A-design , 2B-locomotives were ordered in America for the nine machines SStB - Admont to Lipoglau , which were supplied by the locomotive factory of the WRB , which had somewhat smaller dimensions. The smaller wheels suggest that they were used more in the freight train sector. The twelve locomotives were delivered by William Norris in Philadelphia in 1846. They were named "OZEAN", "SAVE", "GROSSGLOCKNER", "DONAU", "TERGLAV", "IDRIA", "TIMAVO", "PACK", "LOIBL", "ISTRIA", "TERGESTE" and "WECHSEL" ".

The locomotives of this series came in 1858 as part of the privatization of Austrian state railways to the Südbahngesellschaft , which assigned them the numbers 874-885, and from 1860 the series number 16 . They were taken out of service as early as 1864, before they were included in the new series scheme.
