Prussian G 3

what is it?

In 1905 the Prussian state railways grouped six-coupled, medium-powered, goods train, steam locomotives into its Class G 3. In addition to standard locomotives, there were also 285 G 3s that were not built to German state railway norms, because they had been built, in most cases, before the foundation of the Prussian state railways. The G 3 standard locomotives were, in their day the standard goods train locomotives with the Prussian state railways.
