Aussig-Teplitz Railway class IVc

The IVc was an 0-8-0 locomotive built for service on the line between Teplice (Teplitz) and Liberec (Reichenberg) that had inclines of 2.5 percent. Very similar locomotives had already been built in Wiener Neustadt for Turkey five years earlier. Compared to their predecessors of the type IVb, they had drivers of 1,300 instead of 1,195 mm to be able to haul passenger trains with up to 50 km/h if needed. The boiler pressure had been increased from ten to twelve bars and the diameter of the cylinders had been increased by 20 mm.

17 were delivered in 1899, followed by five more in 1909 and 1910. On 2.5 percent, they could haul trains of 250 tonnes with 20 km/h. On relatively level lines with a maximum of 0.25 percent, their maximum capacity was 610 tonnes at top speed of 50 km/h. Some passenger traffic had already been taken over by the two Id 2-6-0 locomotives introduced in 1902 and more Ie locomotives followed in 1908. Now, the IVc was only used in freight service and became ČSD class 413.2 in 1924. In World War II, they became Reichsbahn numbers 55 6001 to 6022. After the war, they were again used by the ČSD and withdrawn between 1948 and 1964.
