The class 86 was a standard tender locomotive which was produced in large quantities by numerous German locomotive factories for the German State Railway. Some of these steam locomotives were located after the end of the war in Austria, where they were used in passenger and freight service. One of the most spectacular operations was its use in doubleheaded trains in front of the class 52 when hauling heavy ore trains. The locomotives were based at depots like Hieflau, Selzthal, Linz, Bischofshofen and St. Veit/Glan. The last of these engines remained in service until 1972.
