Data from Tomasz Galka's English-language Polish locomotives website [], last accessed 10 January 2007.
Identical, says A[nthony] E[dward] Durrant, The steam loc, to the Austrian Sudbahn's 570s of 1915 and the Kaschau-Oderberger engines of 1916. In fact, however, the Austrian St.E.G. (Maschinenfabrik der priv. ~sterreichisch-ungarischen Staatseisenbahnen-Gesellschaft) produced these locomotives specifically to a Polish order and there were some differences.
