Crailsheim

The post-war class 23 2-6-2 was developed by DB to replace ageing ex Prussian Railways P8 4-6-0s. In the event the last P8s managed to hang on into 1974 with the final survivors of class 23 succumbing the following year. Crailsheim was one of their last strongholds and here 023 012 leaves the shed late on the morning of Sunday 1st September 1974 to work the 12:27 stopping service to Lauda.
