A Real Central European Veteran

A Real Central European Veteran -- The steam locomotive no. 555.0153 arrived from the Czech Republic and belongs to the Klub Historie Kolejové Dopravy (KHKD) in Prague. Throughout its career, it has operated in several countries. Built in 1944 as a wartime locomotive at the Floridsdorf locomotive works near Vienna, it was initially delivered to the Czechoslovak State Railways. In 1960, it was transferred to the Kreka coal mines in Bosnia, where it remained in service until 1990. The Austrian organization ÖSEK later rescued the locomotive from Bosnia, and in 2001 it was handed over to the club in Prague. -- Wolsztyn, 3 May 2025, 14:31
