043 903 was the last steam locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in regular
service, which ended in Summer 1977. The oil-fired locomotive serviced heavy
iron ore trains from the seaport Emden to the Ruhrgebiet in the seventies. Today the
machine is exhibited as museum locomotive at Emden Hbf. The photo was taken on the
14th of March 1997.
