Historical Information

The BR01 steam locomotive with 2'2' T32 tender was designed in Germany at the beginning of the 1920s as the first standard express steam locomotive for the Deutsche Reichsbahn. It was intended for the operation of long-distance express and fast trains on main railway lines, such as Berlin–Munich or Berlin–Cologne. Locomotives of the BR01 type were intensively used both in the interwar period and during World War II, playing a key role in German logistics and passenger transport. Thanks to their high reliability and performance, these machines remained in use for several decades after the war, becoming an icon of German railways.
