The modern class 23 of the German Federal Railway "outlived" the Prussian P 8 - which was intended as its replacement - by only one year. Its output was 1,314 kW, and it weighed 131.8 t. Its maximum speed in forwards motion was 110 km/h, and 85 km/h when moving tender first. On 31.12.1971, 76 engines were in the maintenance fleet and exclusively stationed in three railway depots (Saarbrücken, Kaiserslautern and Crailsheim). After their official withdrawal from service in December 1975, 8 of these locomotives were retained for posterity, in part still operational, in various associations and museums.
