The Prussian State Railway developed the type P 8 passenger
locomotive to meet the increased demands of passenger and express
train services. By 1923, German factories had already built over
3,700 versatile triple-coupled locomotives. The P 8 was universally
usable and could be found in front of all types of trains. After
the turmoil of the two world wars, they were used by almost all
European railway administrations. Poland received 192 locomotives

the beginning of the 1980s. However, it was still serving as a
museum locomotive for many years.
