History of the TKt48 locomotive

The TKt48 class steam tank locomotives were built between 1950 and 1957 by Fablok and Cegielski. A total of 191 units were delivered to Polish State Railways.

Thanks to their high adhesive weight and a maximum speed of 80 km/h in both directions, the TKt48 proved ideal for branch lines and mountainous routes. During Era IV they remained in regular service, although increasingly replaced by diesel traction.

Traffic decline and line closures eventually led to their withdrawal, with the last locomotives retired in 1989. Several examples survive today as preserved museum locomotives.
