what is it?
The kkStB 112 was a class of express train 2-2-2 tank engine operated by the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways (German: kaiserlich-königliche österreichische Staatsbahnen or kkStB). In order for the kkStB to provide a fast feeder service to express train stations, a requirement arose for small, fast locomotives. Karl Gölsdorf designed Class 112 for this purpose.
