    The Prussian freight train steam locomotive of the G 8.1 class was created as a further development of the G 8. The first locomotives were delivered in 1913. While just over 1,000 G 8 locomotives were built, the G 8.1 was a success like no other locomotive before. 4934 locomotives were delivered to the Royal Prussian Railway Administration (KPEV) and most recently to the German Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). 10 locomotives went to the Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway (MFF) and 137 to the Reichseisenbahnen Alsace-Lorraine. By 1922, Linke-Hofmann delivered 50 locomotives to the Polish State Railways. In addition, further machines went abroad, including to the Baghdad Railway, to Lithuania and Romania. The G 8.1 class was a major part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn's vehicle fleet. Even after 1945, there were NOCH over 1,000 locomotives in use, NOCH serving in both parts of Germany. The locomotive with the strange company number 55 5555 was built as the Prussian "Magdeburg 5242" by Orenstein & Koppel and was on the DB's operational schedule until 1961.
