50 Years Ago: Farewell to the Class 01 on the Federal Railroad
They were a legend and the queens of the German rails: the mighty Pacific express locomotives of the Class 01, which from 1928 on shaped premium express train service in Germany. 50 years ago these stars of the rails finally had to leave the stage on the DB. Before that, however, they still made grand appearances – in the steam locomotive stronghold of Hof. There, at the end, they pulled express, fast and passenger trains, sometimes double-headed, to Regensburg, via Kulmbach to Lichtenfels and, as a special highlight, over the famous Schiefe Ebene, a 25 per mille grade near Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg. In 1972 Hof was still using 14 proud 01s, including the always superbly maintained 01 111. Steam fans from all over the world made pilgrimages to Franconia to experience the last great 01 gala up close. In the fall of 1974 the Class 01 chapter on the Federal Railroad finally came to an end. 01 111, which had kept its old design boiler and front skirting, was spared the scrapyard. Today it stands at the foot of the Schiefe Ebene in the German Steam Locomotive Museum Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg and recalls a glorious chapter of German locomotive history.
