The StEG II 1361-1378 formed a tank locomotive series of the Staats-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (StEG), a private Austrian-Hungarian railway company .
history
The StEG procured 18 copies initially as Vc 1361-1378, from 1897 under the new name as the 400 series from 1885 to 1897 at its own locomotive factory . The machines had internal frames and external controls, but if you look at the dimensions of the cylinders and the boiler, they were no longer up to date.
When the StEG lines in Hungary were nationalized in 1891 , five of them came to the Hungarian state railway MÁV, which they initially classified as XIV 5681-5685, and finally as the 476 series.
1905 to 1907 a further six pieces were delivered for the Austrian routes of the StEG. With the nationalization of the Austrian part in 1909, 19 pieces came as series 478 to the kk Staatseisenbahnen Österreichs (kkStB).
Two more were procured in 1899 by the Brandeis local railway on the Elbe – Neratowitz . They were given the names BRANDYS and KOSTELETZ . The StEG led the operation for this local railway. Therefore, the two vehicles came together with the StEG machines as part of the nationalization of the StEG to the kkStB.
In addition, the kkStB had two locomotives of this type built for their own use in 1912.
After the First World War , all Austrian locomotives came to ČSD , which they classified as the 400.1 series. During the Second World War , the Deutsche Reichsbahn put the Czech 400.1 in the 98.78 series. When they returned to ČSD, they were retired until 1962.
The locomotives were also used by the Hungarian state railways MAV. The only surviving locomotive ran from 1913 onwards on a works railway in a sugar factory in Grantal. It can be viewed today in the Budapest Railway Park .
