In 1944 it was leased to the CFR - Cailor Ferate Române, Romania but returned the same year, and following the end of WW2 in Europe, it found itself in Esat Germany and joined the newly created DR - Deutsche Reichsbahn in the Soviet occupying sector. It carried its original numberbuntil being computerised in 1970 as 52 2093-4, running until 1981 followed by withdrawal at Leipzig- Engelsdorf.
