The Prussian G 5.2 was a class of two-cylinder compound goods locomotive introduced in 1895.
The newly introduced air brakes made it possible to use the G 5.2 on passenger trains, which the Prussian State Railways often did.
[3] After the Treaty of Versailles, 86 locomotives had to be surrendered as reparations: 39 to France (where they became Chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans 1963–2001), 36 to Belgium (Type 75), six to Italy (FS 603), and five to Czechoslovakia (ČSD 335).
A further 74 locomotives were ceded to Poland where that became PKP class Ti2, and numbered Ti2-1 to Ti2-74; five to Latvia (LVD Pn) and five to Lithuania.
[3] During World War II, 27 former PKP Ti2 locomotives were reclaimed by Germany from the Russians and 23 were renumbered 54 701 to 54 723 in the Reichsbahn's fleet.
