Facts and practical information

T2D Śląsk - Polish industrial steam locomotive - tenders with D-axle layout, produced at the Chrzanów Locomotive Factory in 1950-1962. It was built based on modified documentation of German Oberschlesien-type steam locomotives, constructed by Henschel und Sohn and the Chrzanów factory and produced during World War II in Chrzanów. On industrial railroads they were often designated with the TKp series.

The first locomotives left the Chrzanow Locomotive Factory in 1950, receiving the type name Silesia and the factory designation T2D SLA. A total of 390 of these locomotives were produced. The last one was TKp 6293, dated November 1963. 90 SLA59 locomotives were exported to China. The export locomotives were slightly modernised, with a self-locking coupling, replaced firebox doors, a closed driver's cab, and a few minor changes.
