In 1915 it was located in the boiler house in Vienna-Hütteldorf and was used on the Vienna light rail system. After the electrification of the city railway in 1925, I moved to the boiler house at Franz Josefs Station. In 1934 the GKB bought the locomotive and used it primarily in passenger transport to Köflach. In 1960 it came to VÖEST-Alpine at the Donawitz steelworks as the "600.2" works locomotive. In 1973 the locomotive was saved from being scrapped and was sent to the Strasshof boiler house in 1975. In 1987, the 1.öSEK made it operational for the reopening of the Vienna suburban line.
