With the steam locomotive of the S 3/6 series, an extremely
powerful and state-of-the-art designed locomotive rolled on the
tracks until 1931. The locomotives reached, even when they needed

time meant to haul about 10 express train passenger coaches, a top
speed of about 135 km/h. The "high-axled" locomotives with their
superheated steam four cylinder compound running gears had a very
smooth running. The fuel consumption was also kept low, so after
only a few years of operation it was still possible to manage even
longer distances of more than 800 kilometers. The 3618 was
