1883 classification system

Up to 1 April 1883 the Prussian state railways or acquired private railways designated their locomotives with names and/or numbers. From that date the following numbering scheme was introduced into all the railway divisions.
1 to 99 uncoupled locomotives
100 to 499 four-coupled passenger train locomotives
500 to 799 four-coupled goods train locomotives
800 to 1399 six-coupled goods train locomotives
1400 to 1699 four-coupled tank locomotives
1700 to 1899 six-coupled tank locomotives
1900 to 1999 special locomotives


This scheme applied to all state railway divisions and state-managed private railways. Locomotive numbering was organised according to the above system. However a locomotive could only be identified exactly by using the divisional name and running number in combination.

Because of the increasing numbers of locomotives being procured, the classification scheme and its range of numbers were no longer sufficient. However the numbering system was not immediately replaced. As a result, numbering chaos arose as individual divisions used spare numbers and unique designations for new locomotives.

1903 classification system

Due to the resulting confusion a new classification scheme was introduced in 1903. This was based on the systems used in the Cologne West Rhine (Coeln linksrheinisch), Elberfeld und Magdeburg railway divisions. This changeover took place between 1905 and 1908 within the divisions.

There were four main groups:
  • S - Schnellzuglokomotiven = express train
    Express train
    Express trains are a form of rail service. Express trains make only a small number of stops, instead of stopping at every single station...

     locomotives
  • P - Personenzuglokomotiven = passenger train locomotives
  • G - Güterzuglokomotiven = goods train (freight) locomotives
  • T - Tenderlokomotiven = tank locomotives


An additional number represented the power delivered by the engine and together specified its group. The higher the number the more powerful the locomotive. Engines with a medium power rating were given the number 3. Wet steam engines were given odd, and superheated steam locomotives even, numbers.

The individual locomotive groups were given a specific range of numbers, that often differentiated between two-cylinder (Zwillings-) and compound locomotive
Compound locomotive
A compound engine unit is a type of steam engine where steam is expanded in two or more stages.A typical arrangement for a compound engine is that the steam is first expanded in a high-pressure cylinder, then having given up heat and losing pressure, it exhausts directly into one or more larger...

s.

Because the group criteria allowed a certain degree of freedom, and because the myriad locomotives were often different, it was possible for the same type of locomotive to be placed in different groups in the different railway divisions.

From 1910 the divisions within the groups were further refined using indices. And as older locomotives were mustered out the groups became largely uniform. As a result from that time the group designation became simultaneously a class designation. In the margins of this measure, individual locomotive types were redesignated into other groups.

From 1914 the allocation of numbers began to be no longer consistent. This situation became worse after the end of the First World War as a result of the dissolution of the railway divisions as well as the disorganised way in which locomotives were entered into service.

Classification system for technical and engineering purposes

For technical and engineering purposes, the system introduced in 1883 was not practicable. In order to describe individual types of locomotive a second system was therefore brought in.

This scheme was based on a leading fraction for the running gear ratio, capital letters to specify the primary role and type of steam used, and additional abbreviations for special features.
  • H. - Heissdampf- = superheated
    Superheater
    A superheater is a device used to convert saturated steam or wet steam into dry steam used for power generation or processes. There are three types of superheaters namely: radiant, convection, and separately fired...

  • S. - Schnellzug
    Schnellzug
    A Schnellzug is an express train in German-speaking countries, where it refers to trains that do not stop at all stations along a line. The term is used both generically and also as a specific train type...

    - = express train
  • P. - Personenzug- = passenger train
  • G. - Güterzug- = goods train
  • T. - Tender- = tank
  • L. - Lokomotive = locomotive
  • u. - und = and
  • dr. - Laufdrehgestell = carrying bogie
  • dr. kr. - Krauss-Drehgestell (-Lenkgestell) = Krauss-Helmholtz bogie
    Krauss-Helmholtz bogie
    A Krauss-Helmholtz bogie is a mechanism used on a steam locomotive, where a carrying axle is connected to a coupled axle via a lever such that when the carrying axle swings to the side on going round a curve, it causes the coupled axle to move sideways in the opposite direction...

    )
  • 3cyl. - Dreizylinder- = three-cylinder
  • 4cyl. - Vierzylinder- = four-cylinder
  • v. Verbund-Triebwerk = compound drive


  • There were no special abbreviations for wet steam engines, tender locomotives, two-cylinder engines and simple steam expansion.

    So 2/4 H. S. L. dr. meant a four-coupled, four axled, superheated express train locomotive with carrying bogie.

    Further details such as 'bus' ("Omnibus") were spelt out in full. With the addition of phrases like 'with trailing axle' ("mit hinterer Laufachse") it was possible to distinguish whether a carrying wheelset was in front of or behind the coupled wheels. Following on were further descriptions in order to differentiate the different locomotives. So, for example, the name of the design company, or the name of the railway division that first procured the engine, or the fact that the locomotive was built to certain standards, were added. This classification system continued even after the introduction of the 1903 scheme. From 1910 the detail of the wheel arrangement as a fraction was replaced by a combination of figures for carrying axles and letters for coupled axles (see UIC classification

    The UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements describes the wheel arrangement of locomotives, multiple units and trams. It is set out in the International Union of Railways "Leaflet 650 - Standard designation of axle arrangement on locomotives and multiple-unit sets". It is used in much...

    Classification of electric locomotives and railbuses

    The first locomotives built from 1908 were given the Class designation "WSL" - Wechselstrom-Schnellzug-Lokomotive (AC express train locomotive) and "WGL" - Wechselstrom-Güterzug-Lokomotive (AC goods train locomotive) as well as operating numbers: from 10201 for the goods train engines and 10501 for the expresses. In addition the name of the railway division followed. Because the system was no longer adequate for the locomotives ordered from 1911 a system was introduced similar to the steam engine classification scheme.

    It comprised the class designations:
    • ES - Schnellzuglokomotiven = express train
      Express train
      Express trains are a form of rail service. Express trains make only a small number of stops, instead of stopping at every single station...

       locomotives (operating numbers starting at 1)
    • EP - Personenzuglokomotiven = passenger train locomotives (operating numbers starting at 201)
    • EG - Güterzuglokomotiven = goods train locomotives (operating numbers starting at 501)
    • EV - Verschiebelokomotiven = pusher locomotives (operating numbers starting at 1)


    Multiple locomotives were designated with lower case letters.

    The railbuses were initially only given an operating number. From 1910 type letters were introduced.
    • AT - Akkumulatortriebwagen = accumulator railbus (operating numbers starting at 201), later only "A"
    • DT - Dampftriebwagen = steam railbus (operating numbers starting at 1)
    • VT - Verbrennungsmotortriebwagen = combustion engine railbus (operating numbers starting at 1)
    • ET - Elektrotriebwagen = electric railbus (various numbering systems)


    The operating numbers were always given together with their originating railway division in order to avoid any possible confusion..
