Awe-inspiring boiler pressure
The Maschinenbau AG Schwartzkopff of Berlin delivered the first fast-moving freight train locomotives of the series 41 in 1936. These machines proved themselves as universal locomotives for medium-duty trains. Between 1936 and 1941, a total of 366 locomotives of this construction series were produced. Most of these locomotives were taken over after the war by the Deutsche Bundesbahn and the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
