The DRB Class 42
Seventy of the class were captured during World War II by the Soviet Union; under Russian ownership they were given the classification TL (ТЛ).[1]
History
These engines, built from 1943 onwards, were the second heavy locomotive class of this type after the
The total of 859 units had a number of improvements to the driving and running gear. Originally it was intended to build very large numbers of these engines, but the end of the
At the end of the war there were still half-finished engines in the workshops. So after 1945, 16 engines were built for the Reichsbahn in the western zone by the
The majority of the locomotives that ended up in the Deutsche Bundesbahn were stationed in the Saarland. These were taken out of service by 1960. The engines with the DR continued to work until 1968, and these with BDZ until 1988. Nowadays (2015) there are only two engines in operation - CFL 5519 and BDZ 16.27 (in service since April 2015). They are used for special and tourist trains. Another operational BDZ engine 16.01 is retired since 2013.
The DB and DR locomotives had operating numbers 42 001–2810 and 42 5000. However they did not run consecutively and there were gaps.
The engines were mainly equipped with 2′2′ T 30 or 2′2′ T 32

Notes
- ^ Wartime locomotives classes are prefixed DRB (Deutsche Reichsbahn) to distinguish them from those introduced by the DRG (prefixed DRG), which became defunct in 1937, and those introduced later by the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn (prefixed DR).
