The Prussian Railway Administration KPEV had a total of 462 examples of the 1140 hp 2'C2' T18 tank locomotives built between 1912 and 1923. The manufacturer Vulcan delivered twenty machines to Württemberg in 1919. The original task was to transport fast passenger trains on short connections. The two-cylinder locomotives could be used forwards and backwards at 100 km/h and thus did not have to be turned at the end point. In a Prussian way, the locomotives designated as class 78.0-5 from the 1920s onwards, which only ran on main lines, were dispensed with bells, since there were usually no bell signs. With the migration to the temporary branch line operation, bells of various types were mounted. Due to the equally good running characteristics in both directions of travel, the Deutsche Bundesbahn DB equipped several locomotives with push-pull control on a trial basis in the early 1950s. The locomotives fully met the expectations placed on them, which is why the DB equipped around 80 machines with push-pull control. The last examples of the 78.0-5 were not retired until 1974.
