Die Baureihe 50.40 - Die Neubau-Güterzuglokomotive der Deutschen Reichsbahn
The delivery of the 50 4088 to the Deutsche Reichsbahn on December 28, 1960 marked the end of new steam locomotive construction in the GDR.
These machines served their purpose quite reliably for around 20 years. The 50.40 series was mainly used in the northern districts, with only a few machines also operating briefly in more southern locations.
Due to the high maintenance requirements for the sheet metal frames and the progressive change in traction, the locomotives were quickly taken out of service at the beginning of the 1980s. Some were sold to various companies as heating locomotives.
The book highlights the remarkable innovations of the 50.40 series, which has many similarities with the new 23/35.10 series. The operational history and life stories are covered in detail by the specialist authors Dietmar Schlegel and Gerald Groß in this series book.
