The prototype: The ÖBB 93 series

In the 1920s, the BBÖ commissioned the Floridsdorf locomotive factory to develop a powerful hot steam tank locomotive for use on branch lines. Between 1926 and 1931, a total of 167 locomotives of the 378 series were built. After being incorporated into the Deutsche Reichsbahn, these were designated as the 93 series. ÖBB took over 128 of these locomotives and equipped 72 of them with Giesl flat ejectors in 1957/58, increasing their power to almost 1000 hp. These locomotives were in service until the end of steam operation in 1976 and some even remained in service as a strategic reserve until 1982.
