Rhein-Ettenheim-munster 0-6-0 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 1 (Locobase 21040)
Data from "3/3 gek. Tender-lokomotiven fur 1 m spurweite", Locomotiven, A Borsig (Tegel bei Berlin, 1898), archived on Historical Railway Images, Flickr, at [
], last accessed 8 July 2022. Works numbers were 4427-4429 in 1892.
These metre-gauge six-coupled shunters wore their link motion outside the frames on the rear driving wheels. They opened the 15.9 km (9.9 mile) REM Lokalbahn in 1893. The main line led from the Rhine river east to Orschweiser thence to Ettenheim.
World War I's armistice forced significant changes on this railway beginning with a truncation of the line by closing all west of Orschweiser and renaming the remainder the Kleinbahn Orschweier-Ettenheimmnnster.
Four years later led to conversion to standard gauge and redundancy for the narrow-gauge six-coupled trio. 1 went to the AG Eiserfelder stonework. 2 to the Ruhpolding Forest Railway and 3 to work a Bavarian mine.
