As early as 1942, the Pt 31, referred to by the DRB as BR 191, in service in the “Eastern March” at that time in order to replace the completely overtaxed streamlined locomotives of BR 03.10. The train ran between Vienna and Passau without stopping. From 1944, 191 locomotives were also used in roundhouses in Vienna, a total of 16 engines being assigned. In 1953 they were given the new name 919. Apart from the Semmering Railway and the Southern Railway, they were used together with the BR 12.0. After electrification, the three steam locomotives were left from 1957 onwards at the Hütteldorf railway station, until they were finally decommissioned in 1961. Since 1989 a “heritage” 919 has existed in Austria. This is Pt 47-138, which was purchased by PKP.
