This robust locomotive was primarily designed for shunting services and for use on short lines. The class 93, also known as the "T 14.1", was indispensable in both passenger and freight traffic due to its versatility and high tractive power. It handled both light and medium-weight freight trains with ease and could be used on branch lines as well as in stations.

The class 93.0 locomotives used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in the 1950s were modernized in Era III and were characterized by their unmistakable steam output and the distinctive smokestack. Until the 1970s, the class 93 was an important part of the DB fleet and was frequently used in local freight traffic.
