History
Between 1849 and 1851 Borsig delivered five 2-2-2 locomotives to the Mecklenburg Railway Company. These differed, however, from the engines supplied at the same time which were later categorized as the Class I. Locomotives BERLIN, BÜTZOW, WARNOW, MAGDEBURG and STRELITZ were given operating numbers 7, 8, 11, 12 and 15. Soon after entering service it became apparent that, when hauling goods trains between Schwerin and Rostock, the locomotives were reaching the limit of their capability. With an adhesive weight of 12 t the locomotives were not suited for such duties. As a result, from 1851 Borsig supplied four 2-4-0 locomotives. Engines HERCULES, OBOTRIT, SWANTEWIT and RADEGAST were given numbers 16, 18, 19 and 21. On the nationalization of the railways in 1873, RADEGAST was renamed KIEL because there was already a Class VIII on the state-owned Frederick-Francis Railway with the former name. In 1895 BÜTZOW, WARNOW, STRELITZ and HERCULES were given numbers 2, 6, 7 and 8. The first loco to be retired was KIEL in 1891. The last was STRELITZ which remained on duty until 1903.
The five 2-2-2 locomotives were later converted to 2-4-0s.
The engines worked the lines between Schwerin and Rostock and Bützow and Güstrow.
A steam locomotive is a locomotive that provides the force to move itself and other vehicles by means of the expansion of steam. It is fuelled by burning combustible material to heat water in the locomotive's boiler to the point where it becomes gaseous and its volume increases 1,700 times. Functionally, it is a steam engine on wheels.
The GWR 4100 Class was a class of steam locomotives in the Great Western Railway (GWR) of the United Kingdom.
The Prussian state railways' Class P 10 were 2-8-2 "Mikado" type passenger-hauling steam locomotives built for hauling heavy express trains in the hilly terrain of the Mittelgebirge. They were the last Prussian passenger train steam locomotives to be developed in Prussia before the state railways were merged into the Deutsche Reichsbahn, who eventually designated them as DRG Class 39.
The Dean Single, 3031 Class, or Achilles Class was a type of steam locomotive built by the British Great Western Railway between 1891 and 1899. They were designed by William Dean for passenger work. The first 30 members of the class were built as 2-2-2s of the 3001 Class.
The Bavarian C II was a class of early German steam locomotives operated by the Royal Bavarian State Railways.
The German Class 41 steam locomotives were standard goods train engines (Einheitslokomotiven) operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB) and built from 1937 to 1941.
The German Class 03.10 engines were standard steam locomotives (Einheitsdampflokomotiven) belonging to the Deutsche Reichsbahn and designed for hauling express trains.
The Prussian Class T 3 steam locomotives procured for the Prussian state railways were 0-6-0 tank locomotives. Together with the Prussian T 2 they were the first locomotives that were built to railway norms. The first units were delivered by Henschel in 1882.
The locomotives WURZEN and OSCHATZ were early German steam engines operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company (LDE) for mixed duties. They were tender locomotives.
The ELBE to HAYN series of early, German, steam locomotives were equipped with tenders and operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company.
The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway grouped the various 2-2-2 steam locomotives procured between 1848 and 1863 into its Mecklenburg Class I.
The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway grouped early, 2-4-0, passenger train locomotives from the Friedrich-Franz Railway into its Class III.
The South African Railways Class 19D 4-8-2 of 1937 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class 19C 4-8-2 of 1935 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class 19B 4-8-2 of 1930 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class 12A 4-8-2 of 1919 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class 5B 4-6-2 of 1904 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope.
The South African Railways Class 14C 4-8-2 of 1918 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class 14C 4-8-2 of 1919 was a steam locomotive.
The Saxon Class V was a triple-coupled, goods train, tender locomotive operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn regrouped the locomotives 25 into their DRG Class 53.6–7.
