Niederschlesisch-Markische 2-4-0 Locomotives in Germany


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 106 (Locobase 21052)

Data from "2/3 gek. Personenzug-lokomotive fur normale Spurweite", Locomotiven, A Borsig (Tegel bei Berlin, 1898), archived on Historical Railway Images, Flickr, at [link], p. 2. Works numbers were 3590-3599 in December 1877.

Pehaps the better-known name for the railway was the Berlin-Wroclaw. The Flickr site commemorates the complicated national identies in Lower Silesia by notng that the delivery arrived at Breslau in Prussia. When the city came under Polish control, it became Wroclaw.
