The exceptionally powerful class 44 locomotives were the backbone of freight service motive power for the German Federal Railroad for 20 years. Thirty-two locomotives were converted to oil firing starting in 1955. The advantages in maintenance and operation at that time were still relatively favorable: Heating oil cost only about 1/10 of the price today. Eighteen oil-fired locomotives remained in operation right up to the absolute end of the West German steam locomotive period. They were stationed in Rheine and pulled the ore train "Langer Heinrich" / "Long Henry" tirelessly.
