Hesston: German Locomotive
| August 18, 2019 01:41PM |
DR 99 3361, the German 60cm gauge 0-8-0 at Hesston, was originally Mecklenburg-Pommersche Schmalspurbahn 14 (O&K 13200 / 1938). The MPSB was one of the once numerous regional narrow gauge railways in eastern Germany. Several other ex-MPSB locomotives are preserved in Germany. A portion of the original MPSB right-of-way has been restored. Small diesels now power tourist trains there.
