The steam locomotive DRG Class 93 was built between 1927 and 1931, among others by the company Floridsdorf. The Series 93 is a superheated steam tender locomotive, which was for use on the intended branch lines. They should be stronger than the Gölsdorfsche series 178 and serve as a substitute for many other older series. The locomotive received the axle formula 1’D1 ‘. Unlike other series, you started immediately with the series production and renounced the construction of a prototype locomotive.
The BBÖ took until 1931 167 steam locomotive Class 93 in operation. From 1938 were taken at the Deutsche Reichsbahn as 93 1301 – 1467 in operation. In 1941, the Slovakian State Railway ordered 25 copies in slightly modified form and put them into service under the designation 431.0. After end of war the locomotives remained with the CSD.

Whereabouts of the steam locomotive series 93 after World War II
During World War II, 11 steam locomotives DRG Class 93 were lost and 28 units came, partly as reparations, to the JDZ in Yugoslavia. Thus, the ÖBB had 128 copies. The 93er were in the entire branch line network of the ÖBB in use. The steam locomotive DRG Class 93 was the last standard gauge steam locomotive class in the stock of ÖBB. Some copies remained until 1982, and thus beyond the official end, as a strategic reserve received.
