The steam locomotive 58 3005 belonged to Class 58.30 of the
Deutsche Reichsbahn and was thus one of the most distinctive
rebuilt locomotives of the GDR. The class was based on the
tried-and-tested five-axle coupled freight locomotives of the G 12
type. Between 1958 and 1962, the Deutsche Reichsbahn had a total of
56 locomotives extensively modernised at the Zwickau repair works.
Among other things, they were fitted with a more powerful
reconstruction boiler and given a significantly altered
appearance.
58 3005 was initially based at Dresden-Friedrichstadt, among other
places, before being transferred to the Glauchau depot in 1970. A
distinctive feature of the locomotive was its 2’2’T26 tender, which
it retained until the end of its service life.
