The Prussian T 13
As early as the start of the 20
freight transport placed greater and greater demands
on locomotives, also on the locomotives used in
switching work. For that reas on the management
of the Royal Prussian Railroad Administration (KPEV)
requested the development of a heavy duty, four-
axle tank locomotive for switching work, transfer
work with connecting railroads, commuter service,
and branch line service.
The result was the class T 13, a Union design 0-8-0T
tank locomotive, the name "Union" coming from the
company first responsible for the design, the Union
Casting Company in Königsberg, Germany. The T 13
had a service weight of 60 metric tons and an output
of 500 horsepower, enabling it to reach a maximum
speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) in both directions.
Between 1910 and 1922 the Prussian-Hessian State
Railways purchased a total of 562 class T 13 loco-
motives.
th
century the increase in
Sixty of these locomotives went to the Imperial State
Railways in Alsace-Lorraine, and they were taken
over by the French AL Railways (Alsace and Lorraine
Railways) after 1918. Another 4 units were acquired
as reparations. After the nationalization of the French
railway system in 1938, the remaining 49 units of the
class T 13 were taken into the new SNCF numbering
system as the class 040 TC.
These locomotives were used all over Germany on
account of their use. After 1945 the DB and the DR
both continued to use the former T 13 as the class 92,
increasingly as a switch engine. Several units of this
locomotive that remained in France and Luxembourg
experienced a similar fate. The last class T 13 loco-
motives were retired in the mid 1960s.
