Data from Alfred Gieseler's Dampfmaschinen und Lokomotiven at [], last accessed 26 July 2013.
The HBE's only real strains during World War Two came from meeting the ever-increasing traffic demands--the system suffered only minor damage from Allied action. These two Prairie tanks were delivered during the middle of the war as powerful freight switchers and haulers.
