The T 16.1 (later designated class 94.5) was a goods train tender locomotive of the Royal Prussian State Railway. A total of 1.236 locomotives of this series were built between 1913 and 1924, including follow-up orders by the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Due to their high efficiency, the series locomotives were not only found on branch lines and used for shunting but were also able to replace the cost-intensive cogwheel operations on steep lines running by adhesion. For use on steep lines, e.g. in the Thuringian Forest, the locomotives were fitted with a Riggenbach-type counterpressure brake. The main components of the brake were located on the right-hand side of the smoke chamber.
