BLE No. 44

Locomotive No. 44 of the Brunswick State Railway (BLE) was a tank locomotive for mixed passenger and goods traffic. The locomotive, built in 1934 by Krupp, had a 2-8-2T wheel arrangement and a two-cylinder superheated engine. Leading and trailing wheels were housed in a Bissel bogie. Rather unusual for such a locomotive were the smoke deflectors which were attached directly to the side tanks and extended as far as the front buffer beam. The running number 79 001 was allocated in 1951 to the former French locomotive, 1-242.TA.602, which had ended up in German hands after the war.
