Prototype: The Prussian T 14s were German, 2-8-2T, goods train, tank locomotives operated by the Prussian state railways and the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine. They were later incorporated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn into their renumbering plan as Class 93.0–4. These locomotives were used for goods traffic and Sunday excursion services on the lines of the Berlin Stadtbahn. Later the T 14 was also procured by other railway divisions for goods trains on main lines and even for passenger services. 457 of these were built for the Prussian state railways and 40 for the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine between 1914 and 1918. The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over 400 T 14s from Prussia State Railways. In World War II BR 93s also operated in Austria, Poland, Belgium, and France. After the Second World War, the East German Railways operated a small fleet of BR93s. They retired in 1971. In the west, the Deutsche Bundesbahn began retiring them in 1960. Locomotive 93 230 has been preserved and belongs to the Dresden Transport Museum. Another unit, PKP TKt1-63, is preserved in Poland at Chabówka railroad museum
