The prototype: The impressive class 95

The class 95, originally known as the Prussian T 20, was specially developed between 1922 and 1924 for use on steep lines. The Deutsche Reichsbahn used these robust tank locomotives for both freight and passenger trains. Their remarkable tractive power made them the preferred choice for demanding route profiles, especially in mountainous regions. The coal-fired steam locomotive 95 021 with a modernized sandbox is an example of the innovative power and performance of this class.

The German Reichsbahn in Era III

In Era III, which lasted from 1945 to 1970, the Deutsche Reichsbahn went through a phase of consolidation and modernization. This period was characterized by a gradual transition from steam locomotives to more modern types of propulsion, with many existing vehicles being overhauled. The 95 021 was further optimized during this time in order to meet the increased requirements. Its modernized sandbox improved traction, and its robust design made it a reliable workhorse in daily operation.
