Brennstoff=ThePrussian Class S 3s were saturatedsteam locomotives developed byHanomag for thePrussian state railways and were built from 1893.Design
They were a further development of the S 2 and used the same
boiler . The "S" stood for "Schnellzuglokomotive", or express locomotive, of which the S 3 was a large and powerful type. Because larger turntables with a 16 metre diameter were then being built, thewheel base could be lengthened, which gave it better riding qualities. The locomotive had one high-pressure and one low-pressure cylinder, coupled to four driving wheels in4-4-0 configuration.They were the first class of locomotives to use superheating, a process in which the
steam leaving the boiler is re-heated, resulting in better efficiency.Procurement
The railway procured a total of 1,027 locomotives of this class up to 1904, and they were stabled at almost all
locomotive depots ("Betriebswerken" or "Bw"). That made it the most numerous German express train locomotive. In addition, several hundred units with smaller driving wheels were manufactured - dubbed the P4 class.Another 40 examples went to the
Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine (seeAlsace-Lorraine S 3 ) and six units, with a modified axle base, to theGrand Duchy of Oldenburg State Railways (seeOldenburg S 3 ).Reichsbahn Era
Whilst the
Deutsche Reichsbahn still had 451 Prussian S 3 engines in its 1923 renumbering plan (as 13 008 - 458), only 27 of them remained in 1925 and were classified as DRG Class 13.0 with operating numbers 13 002–028. Locomotive 13 001 was not an S 3, but a Prussian S 2 converted into an Erfurt-typecompound locomotive . The machines were retired by 1927.The locomotives of the Oldenburg State Railway were given operating numbers 13 1801–1806 in 1925, but were retired only a year later.
After the
First World War over 100 engines were left with the Polish (PKP ) andLithuanian Railways where some were still in service in the 1940s. Some were incorporated into the Reichsbahn fleet in theSecond World War as 13 010, 301, 302, 305 - 337, 339 and 340. Several of these locomotives were in theEast German Deutsche Reichsbahn until 1955 and were then given back toPoland .The locomotives were equipped with Prussian 3 T 15, 2'2' T 16, 2'2' T 20 and 2'2' T 21,5 tenders.
