| Remarks & Notes |
| In 1884 the Emperor's and King's Austrian State Railways (kkStB) were founded. They developed three new standard locomotive classes: an express loco, a light multi-purpose loco and the heavy freight class 73, extraordinary powerful, yet simple and reliable. Until 1909 there were 453 engines built. Class 73 became the standard type of the Austrian Military Administration. She was in service on nearly all mountain lines in Old-Austria but in Slovenia not until WW1. After the war four engines remained in Ljubljana-Siska shed. As class JDZ 133 they served for pick-up trains and shunting. The 73 372 came to Slovenia during WW2 as German DRB 55 5737. After the war she was reclassified as 133 005 and sent to the coal mine Kreka. Source Slovenian Railway Museum Ljubljana |
