The class 44 steam locomotives spent the last 10 years of their service life based at the railroad maintenance facility in Rheine, where they were kept fit for the "Langer Heinrich" / "Long Henry". This immensely heavy ore train brought raw material as a volume freight load from the harbor in Emden to the Ruhr area and to Saarland. A single locomotive could not master the train with 50 cars and 4,000 metric tons weight. The class 44 locomotives with coal firing (later the class 044) or with oil firing (later the class 043) were always operated in pairs at the front of the train. Occasionally an oil-fired class 41 (later the class 042) or a V 200.1 (later the class 221) diesel locomotive helped out.
