Dale W Fickés reports on this much travelled loco:

Coming into stock in 1938 it was assigned No. PKP-A: Pt31-73 but was re-designated DRB No. 19 145 in 1941. It worked for both ÖBB and MAV during 1945. It was retrieved by the PKP in early 1953 as No. Pt31-49 and could be found at Szczecin Glowny depot by that October. It ended up, in 1976, at Rozwadów depot, being withdrawn by PKP in February 1980. Two months later it was sold to ZPOW Hortex, Przysucha as a stationary boiler for two years when, after twelve years, it was taken to Jaworzyna Slaska where it remains in the Museum of Industry and Railways in Silesia, ul. Towarowa 4, 58-140 Jaworzyna Slaska, Lesser Silesia
