    Passenger train tank locomotives - BR 78
    With the T 18 series (later series 78), the development of passenger train tank locomotives in Prussia was completed. The power, axle load, and top speed of the new series were intended to roughly match those of the Prussian passenger locomotive P 8 (later series 38.10). Since the concept proved to be exceptionally successful, a total of 534 units of the T 18 series were built between 1912 and 1927. The locomotives were assigned operating numbers 78 001 to 78 528 by the Reichsbahn. Numbers 78 331 to 78 350 were not assigned.
