Names and numbers of locomotives
In the beginning, locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State RailwaysRoyal Bavarian State Railways
As a nation-state, Germany did not come into being until the creation of the German Empire in 1871 from the various German-speaking states such as Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Baden and Württemberg. By then each of the major states had formed its own state railway and these continued to remain...
were given names. The locomotive name was displayed in raised capital letters on a brass plate on the side of the boiler or, in the case of tank locomotives, on the side of the water tank.
Locomotives were given the names of both Bavarian and foreign places, rivers, lakes and mountains, the names of important people from art and science, as well as the names of literary and mythological figures. Even a few animal names were used.
Examples: BAVARIA, WÜRZBURG, ALTMÜHL, FUNTENSEE, WATZMANN, COPERNICUS, FAUST, ODYSSEUS, PANTHER
Locomotives with names were also given a so-called inventory number that was displayed in small figures on the chimney and on the rear wall of the tender or, in the case of tank engines, on the rear wall of the driver's cab.
Inventory numbers ran in sequence on new locomotives entering service, regardless of class or type. Names and inventory numbers of withdrawn locomotives were usually reallocated to newly delivered machines. The name plates were then re-used.
Example: The Class C IV PASING 113, built in 1889, received the name and inventory number of a Class A V mustered out that year.
Names and inventory numbers were used for the last time in 1892. The state railway then went over to railway or running numbers, whereby locomotives of the same class or type were reserved a specified sequential range of numbers. The assignment of number ranges did not follow any recognisable logic. The number plates were designed in the same way and displayed in the same places as the name plates.
Older classification scheme
The older classification scheme introduced in 1847 divided the locomotives into five groups differentiated by capital letters:- A – Locomotives with one driven axle
- B – Locomotives with two coupled axles
- C – Locomotives with three coupled axles
- D – Tank locomotives
- E – Locomotives with four coupled axles
Locomotive classes were indicated with roman numerals after the letter; these numbers ran in the same sequence as the introduction of the locomotives classes into service. There was no distinction between locomotives used for different purposes.
Example: Bavarian B V
Bavarian B V
The Bavarian B V steam engines were early German 2-4-0 locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways ....
, Bavarian D XI
Bavarian D XI
The Bavarian Class D XI engines were branch line saturated steam locomotives built for service with the Royal Bavarian State Railways ....
Because there were only locomotives with one, two or three driven axles at the time when this classification system was introduced, they were given the letters A, B and C respectively. When tank engines were brought into service in 1871, the use of four coupled axles was still not conceivable, so tank locomotives were given the class letter D. However, when goods train locomotives with four coupled axles then appeared towards the end of the 19th century, they had, absurdly, to be given the designation E I.
The system was further expanded in 1896 on the appearance of locomotives with separate running gear:
- AA – Locomotives with Vorspannachse (Locomotives with a driven axle and a raisable 'dolly axle' (Hilfsachse) to assist starting)
- BB – MalletMalletA mallet is a kind of hammer, usually of rubber,or sometimes wood smaller than a maul or beetle and usually with a relatively large head.-Tools:Tool mallets come in different types, the most common of which are:...
locomotives, which have two separate sets of coupled driving gear
Examples: AA I
Bavarian P 2/4
The only AA I steam locomotive of the Royal Bavarian State Railways was built by the firm of Krauss in 1896. It had been designed by chief mechanical engineer, Richard von Helmholtz, as a 4-2-2-2 tender locomotive. The engine was largely based on the Bavarian B XI, but the driving and running gear...
, Bavarian BB II
Bavarian BB II
The Bavarian Class BB II engines were Mallet saturated steam locomotives in the service of the Royal Bavarian State Railways ....
To differentiate between two-cylinder (Zwillings-) and compound (Verbund-) locomotives in the case of Classes B XI and C IV the class designation was supplemented with:
- Zw for locomotives with two-cylinder driving gear
- Vbd (also Vb or Verb) for locomotives with compound driving gear
Examples: B XI Zw
Bavarian B XI
The Class B XI engines of the Royal Bavarian State Railways were built between 1895 and 1900 by the firm of Maffei for deployment in Bavaria...
, C IV Vbd
Bavarian C IV
The C IV was a steam locomotive, that was manufactured between 1884 and 1897 for the Royal Bavarian State Railways . Between 1884 and 1893 a total of 87 units two-cylinder, saturated steam engines were delivered. They were followed by two compound engines in 1889 for testing and then 98 more...
These additional letters were not inscribed on the engines themselves.
Narrow gauge locomotives for the only narrow gauge line in the state railways which then existed fell outside the boundaries of this system. These were given the abbreviation LE (for Lokalbahn Eichstätt) and roman numerals from I to V. In addition these locomotives also displayed inventory numbers.
Classification scheme of 1901
Because of technical advances and the requirements of railway operations, this scheme was no longer able to cope, so a new system was introduced in 1901.This consisted of several elements:
A leading capital letter indicated the locomotive class:
- S - Schnellzuglokomotive = express train locomotive
- P - Personenzuglokomotive = passenger train locomotive
- G - Güterzuglokomotive = goods train locomotive
- R - Rangierlokomotive = shunting locomotive
- M - Motorwagen = rail motor vehicle
- E - elektrischer Antrieb = electric locomotive (from 1913, precedes the locomotive class)
The locomotive class could be elaborated on with one or more additional letters:
- t - Tenderlokomotive = tank locomotive (not used for shunting engines)
- z - Zahnradlokomotive = cogwheel locomotive
- s - Schmalspurlokomotive = narrow gauge locomotive
- L - Lokalbahn = branch line
Then followed the ratio of the coupled axles to the total number of axles, separated by a forward slash e. g. 3/5.
To distinguish between superheated and wet steam locomotives of the same class, an "H" or an "N" was added at the end of the classification.
Examples:
- So a Class S 3/6 meant an express engine (Schnellzuglokomotive) with 3 coupled axles and 6 axles in total – i.e. 3 carrying axles.
- The Pt 2/5 N is a passenger train tank engine (Personenzugtenderlokomotive) with 2 coupled axles and a total of 5 axles – i.e. 3 carrying axles – using wet or saturated steam (Naßdampfausführung.)
- EP 3/5 meant an electric passenger train locomotive (Elektrische Personenzuglokomotive) with 3 driven axles and 5 axles in all – i.e. two carrying axles.
The new classification system was only applied to those locomotives newly entering service. So up to 1920 two different classification systems existed together. With the foundation of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

Locomotives of the Bavarian Eastern Railway Company (Bayerische Ostbahn)
The classification scheme of the Bavarian Ostbahn was different from that of the state railway. The locomotives were also divided into five groups that were given capital letters.- A - Locomotives with one driven axle
- B - Locomotives with two coupled axles and a carrying axle
- C - Locomotives with three coupled axles
- D - Tank locomotives
- E - Locomotives with two coupled axles, but no carrying axle
The Ostbahn did not differentiate between the individual classes with a special class number. Instead of that locomotives were numbered sequentially within a group. After nationalisation, the former Ostbahn locomotives were initially operated under their old numbers. Not until 1892 were they redesignated in accordance with the classification system of the state railway.
The initial use of names was soon given up again.
