DetailsThe German Federal Railway Class 98.3, known as the "Glaskasten" or "Glass Box" and formerly designated the Bavarian PtL 2/2, was a distinctive steam locomotive equipped with a jackshaft and triple headlights. In the 1950s, it was typically paired with Bavarian-style local railway coaches, including a baggage and mail car as well as two third-class passenger coaches. Around 1957, during Era III, this locomotive and carriage combination was a familiar sight on regional branch lines, providing dependable service for both passengers and freight in post-war Germany. |
