The class 38 steam locomotives with their riveted tenders and Witte smoke deflectors were a familiar sight on German branch lines for a long time. They mostly hauled passenger trains and were irreplaceable in local transport for a long time. It was only in the increasing modernisation of the Deutsche Bundesbahn that diesel and electric locomotives replaced them.
