PLACE AND DATE | Bialosliwie, Poland, 26.9.1992, after overhaul at Pila |
NOTES | Originally delivered to Cöln-Frechener Cristall Sandwerke GmbH, Frechen, a 750mm gauge line, this loco later worked at Casseler Basat AG, where it may have been regauged to 600mm. After withdrawal from service there it was at the Verkehrsschulgarten in Kassel, passing in 1987 to the Eisenbahnfreunde Bebra. In 1991 it was acquired by Herr Michael Horst of Kassel, and overhauled at Pila works in Poland. A report that it was 2909 was false. |
