German 2-10-2 tank Locomotive 99 787 to be converted to light Oil-Firing
The Sächsisch-Oberlausitzer-Eisenbahn Gesellschaft commissioned the DLM to convert its 99 787 steam locomotive from coal to light oil firing. This pilot locomotive for Saxony is being financed with funds for coal structural change. The main reason for this is a possible reduction in CO2 emissions and thus a better eco-balance for the future of the railroad. Furthermore, the light oil firing helps with the increasing dryness in summer.

The light oil fired 52 8055 is framed by two fireless storage locomotives of type FLC 03. The storage locomotives are charged with external steam, generated for example with waste heat, and operate emission-free and quietly.
