The prototype of the BR 56 coal dust

The locomotive 56 2130 was equipped with pulverized coal firing in 1930 by the Studiengesellschaft für Kohlenstaubfeuerung auf Lokomotiven (Stug). This technology was intended to increase the efficiency and performance of steam locomotives. After its conversion, the locomotive served in the Halle depot before being modernized in 1958 in the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk Cottbus. The boiler was transplanted onto the frame of locomotive 56 2644, which gave it a second life until the 1960s.
