The Prussian Class T 3 steam locomotives procured for the Prussian State Railways were 0-6-0 tank locomotives intended for local mixed traffic and shunting work. Together with the Prussian T 2, they were the first steam locomotives built according to the standard designs. The first units were delivered by Henschel in 1882, and the Prussian State Railway procured the class until 1910.
