The Class 95 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn includes steam locomotives
built between 1922 and 1924 by the manufacturers Borsig and
Hanomag. Originally ordered as Prussian class T20, they received
the class number 95 in 1925. Despite the original plan to use these
locomotives for rack operation on steep lines, they were mainly
used in freight train and shunting operations on mountain routes
due to their high weight, earning them the nickname "Mountain
Queen."
After World War II, 12 locomotives remained in West Germany and
were used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn until 1957. These were
scrapped by 1959. In the GDR, the locomotives continued to be used,
and 24 machines were converted to oil-fired operation in Meiningen
in the 1960s. The regular operation of the last locomotives ended
in 1981. Some machines, including 95 016 and 95 027, were preserved
for museum and heritage purposes and are still operational today.
Preserved locomotives are owned by various museums and railway
clubs.
