Many of the DR locomotives that remained in the country after the end of the war were converted to oil firing. Until they were gradually replaced by modern diesel and electric locomotives, the Class 44 locomotives formed the backbone of heavy goods services. Due to their enormous tractive power, they were nicknamed 'Jumbos.' The DR retired the last of these "Pachyderms" in 1986.
