Remarks & Notes 
Worldwide the fastest operational steamlocomotive, the oil fired 4-6-2 "Pacific" 18 201, which can reach about 180 km/h with her 2,3 meter diameter driving wheels, is leaving Dresden main station with open cylinder walves with a train to Klingenberg-Colmnitz. It was reconstructed in 1961 in Meiningen as a test locomotive for high speeds from parts of several locomotives, mainly from the Henschel-Wegmann train three cylinder 4-6-6 tender locomotive # 61 002 from 1939. Nowadays the "Green frog" is operated by Dampf Plus Gmbh.
