Description

German Federal Railroad class 44 steam locomotiveNo description available.

The standardized locomotive program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) also included the development of a powerful freight locomotive. The locomotive, designated BR 44, was expected to carry freight trains of up to 1,200 t in the low mountain ranges and up to 600 t over steep ramps. The first 10 locomotives with the wheel arrangement 1'E h3 were delivered in 1926. It was not until 1937, following increased demands for train haulage, that this locomotive went into series production and was procured in large numbers, in various designs. Until they were replaced by modern diesel and electric locomotives, the class 44 machines formed the backbone of heavy freight train service throughout Germany.
