Fabricated between 1911 and 1923 in 470 units in
Italy and in Germany, this sturdy locomotive for freight trains,
though not extraordinary in speed, has proven reliable and practical
for more than 50 years, so that 17 engines are officially classified
as historical locomotive by Trenitalia and run ahead of vintage
trains in most Italian regions.
