List of Saxon locomotives and railcars
This list contains the locomotives and railcars of the Royal Saxon State Railways and the locomotives of the Leipzig- Dresden Railway
Leipzig- Dresden Railway Company
The Leipzig- Dresden Railway Company (LDE ) started 1837-1839 with the gradual opening of sections to operate on and was the first German long-distance railway. She remained nearly three decades independently and went on June 1, 1876 in the Royal Saxon State Railways on.
The locomotives of the LDE were only referred to by name.
Royal Saxon State Railways
Name of locomotives
First, as is common practice, the locomotives referred to by name. This was common for all vehicles up to 1892. From 1893 to 1900 contributed only passenger and express train locomotives nameplates. Thereafter, the plates were removed in all locomotives except older shunting and branch line locomotives.
When naming one tried the series appropriate name to assign groups (rivers, mountain peaks, American cities).
In addition to the name of the locomotives were still list numbers ( track numbers) that were attached from 1869 also on the vehicles. A new numbering plan was introduced in 1892, a system was being tried to achieve. This, however, was never reached.
Since this system was confusing and impractical with the ever increasing number of locomotives, was led in 1869 a system to distinguish the series one. The system consisted of an abbreviation for the manufacturer and a Roman numeral per design.
Two years later, this system has been changed and you called with the numbers a certain axle assembly while maintaining the manufacturer abbreviations. In addition, the letter "a" were introduced ( for old) and "b" ( for new or second type ).
In the following years there were further changes in the designation system. Thus, as a generic indicator
- F for type locomotives Fairlie ( 1885 )
- M for type locomotives Meyer ( 1889 )
- Kl for type locomotives Klose ( 1889 )
And as an additional indicator (behind the genus number)
- T for tender locomotives (from 1876)
- K for small track: 750 mm narrow gauge locomotives (sometimes even before the species number)
- S for secondary Railway Locomotives ( 1884 )
- O for Omnibuszug locomotives (from 1885)
- C for compound ( composite ) locomotives (from 1887), replaced by
- For compound locomotives (from 1889)
- M for meter gauge locomotives
- For superheated steam locomotives
Introduced.
1885 received the additional letter " b " means " movable barrel axis ". The last major reorganization of the genus designation was made in 1896. It is now the supplier was omitted. New genera of express and freight locomotives and freight train just got, branch line and shunting locomotives were given odd numbers genus. The narrow gauge locomotives were given new generic names starting with I. Locomotives of the same class but with different Treibraddurchmessern received the additional digits 1 ( steam locomotives ) and 2 ( passenger locomotives )
