Saxon VIII 1

Saxon VIII 1

The Saxon Class VIII 1 were early German 4-4-0 steam locomotives built for the Royal Saxon State Railways ("Königlich Sächsische Staats-Eisenbahn") for express train services. The engines were deployed on the railway route between Dresden and Chemnitz.

They were based on a prototype from Württemberg. They were fitted with an American bogie and had a high outer firebox instead of the second steam dome. As a result the boiler was also pitched higher.

These locomotives were over 50 years old when they were retired around 1922 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn before being given a new classification.
