Prototype: The class 94.5-17 is one of the longest-lasting and most successful Prussian locomotive designs. Its development actually goes back to 1906, when the Royal Railway Directorate (KED) Erfurt submitted an application to the Prussian Central Railway Office to develop a five-coupled steam locomotive for the steep routes in Thuringia. The T16, which was largely developed by the well-known locomotive designer Robert Garbe, was manufactured in 343 copies from 1905 onwards. With the T16 of the reinforced design (referred to as T16.1), true universal locomotives for short routes were created between 1913 and 1924, which became at home throughout Prussia, Alsace and Lorraine and, from 1920, throughout Germany. There were various changes during the long construction period. From 1921 the T16.1 had a feed dome, which is why the preheater, which was initially placed on the top of the boiler, now slid to the side next to the front sandpit. With the steam heating clutch, the T16.1s, designated as BR 94.5-17 from 1924, were also used in passenger trains. The maximum speed increased to 60 km/h after standardization of many components from 1927 made them even more versatile in use. With an axle load of 17 tons, the 94 was also suitable for branch lines with weaker superstructures. In addition, equipped with a Riggenbach counter-pressure brake, it even replaced the more modern, but too heavy T20 on steep Thuringian routes. The ESU models 094 652 and 94 1292 became legends in steep route service. Both were among the last DB and DR operating locomotives in the early 1970s. 94 1292 demonstrated its power as a DB museum locomotive on the Rennsteig until 2005 or, at times, in the Eifel in tough steep ramp service.
