DRG Class 80
The Class 80 tank engines were German standard locomotives (Einheitsloks) with the Deutsche Reichsbahn. They were intended to replace the aging state railway line engines on shunting duties at large stations. History39 examples were built in 1927 and 1928 at the locomotive factories of Jung in Jungenthal, Union Gießerei in Königsberg, Wolf and Hohenzollern. With the development of the Class 80, a relatively economical and simple design, it was hoped that the cost of shunting duties would come down. Prior to the Second World War they worked primarily in the area of Leipzig (including the shunting of post vans) and Cologne. After 1945 22 were sent to the DR in East Germany and 17 to the Deutsche Bundesbahn. They were in service with the DR until 1968. The last Bundesbahn engine was withdrawn in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1965. Several examples survived in the Ruhrgebiet until 1977 as industrial locomotives with the Ruhrkohle AG. Preserved examples Seven of the class have been preserved:
