Class 14 / BR 99.45 (Locobase 8541)

Data from [link], accessed 7 July 2007, supplemented by [link], last accessed 14 May 2011.

This class of tanks ran on the eastern Germany kleinbahn from Kyritz to Hoppenrade (1-3) and the Kleinbahn Viesecke-Glÿwen (ViGl) for #4. The KKH locomotives were delivered in a batch by Hartmann (works # 2262-2264); the latter two were named KYRITZ and DANNENWALDE, respectively. The ViGi engine - named WURTTENBERG - ventured onto its route 3 years later (2622).

KYRITZ went to the Soviet Union as war reparations in 1945. The other three were absorbed by the East German DRB in 1949 until all three were retired in May 1966.
