The OKf100 class locomotive was a Czechoslovakian-built passenger steam locomotive, formerly part of the Lithuanian Tk class, used by the Polish State Railways. After 1945, one member of the Tk class ended up in Poland and was classified as the solitary member of the OKf100 class.

The locomotive belonged to the Lithuanian Tk class passenger tank locomotives, consisting of four members, manufactured in 1932 by Škoda Works of Czechoslovakia, bearing numbers 11 to 14. [1] [2] These locomotives originally ran on standard gauge tracks, but after Lithuania was annexed by the USSR in 1940, they were converted to run on broad-gauge tracks. During World War II, they found themselves in Austria, again converted into standard gauge.[ citation needed ]

Number 14 (works number 754) of the class was delivered to Poland, being temporally numbered as PK 14 for unknown reasons. [2] During World War II, the locomotive was stationed at the Škirotava engine house in Latvia, and then in Vienna-Hütteldorf in Austria. [2] The locomotive arrived in Poland on November 15, 1948, mistakenly listed as being designated class TKp14 of the Polish railways. It entered PKP stock, became classified as OKf100-1 and was sent for repair to the Wrocław-Nadodrze workshops—but repairs never happened and it was derostered in 1950. Its boiler was used for heating purposes in Wrocław until 1975. [2]

The locomotive had two outside cylinders, with its front axle on a Bissel semi-truck. The locomotive was fitted with Knorr system brakes. The linked axles and the Krauss-Helmholtz two-axle rear bogie are also fitted with brakes. [2] Fitted on the boiler is the steam dome, the sandbox and a third dome to purify the feed water. [1]

ET22 is a Polish six-axle electric freight locomotive built by Pafawag from 1969 to 1989. Factory designation is 201E. With 1183 units, it is one of the most numerous standard gauge electric locomotive built in Europe. Further 23 units were built for Morocco as E-1000 class.

The history of rail transport in Poland dates back to the first half of the 19th century when railways were built under Prussian, Russian, and Austrian rule. Of course, "divided Poland" in the 19th century was the territory of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth rather than today's Republic of Poland. After Polish independence was declared on 11 November 1918, the independent Polish state administered its own railways until control was surrendered to German and Soviet occupiers during World War II.

PKP Class Pt47 is a Polish steam locomotive. An improvement of the successful pre-war PKP class Pt31 class, the main difference is the addition of circular tubes in the fire chamber, thereby significantly increased boiler performance. This class also featured a superheater and many have mechanical stokers to feed coal into the firebox. 180 locomotives were built in total between 1948 and 1951. The designation stood for fast passenger (P) 2-8-2 (t) locomotive designed in 1947.
