A little touch of history:
The 95 1027 locomotive otherwise known as the "Bergkönigin" was designed in 1923by Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG (HANOMAG). These locomotives were one of the most powerful tender locomotives, thanks to their 1,620 hp. These rail engines were assigned to several depots, on Germany's steepest mountain lines.
