The original
Steam locomotive Rh 38
Steam locomotive 38.4109 of the Austrian Federal Railways with round smoke stack. Operation
condition: 1950s. The locomotives of the series 109 were the conclusion and the peak of the
2'C machines in Austria. With them the travelling time from Vienna to Triest could be reduced
from 13,5 hours at the time to 10,5. By the time the BBÖ was integrated into the DRB in 1938,
the series 109 was designated series 38.41. At the ÖBB the locomotives kept their original se-
ries designation. In the 1950s, eight machines were equipped with a Giesl ejector with boiling
tube throttling, therefore the output could be increased by 30%. The locomotives were mainly
pulling express and passenger trains.
