The German Federal Railway's Class 39 (formerly Prussian P 10) was a powerful express locomotive of the standard class, originally developed for heavy passenger train service on steep gradients. Thanks to its wheel arrangement, a three-cylinder engine, and a power output of around 1,800 hp, it was particularly used on mountainous lines such as the Middle Rhine Railway or in Thuringia. After the Second World War, numerous locomotives remained with the German Federal Railway, which continued to use them, especially in southern Germany, until the 1950s.
