BB V36 204 (BB V36)

BB V36 204 with another usual historic touristic train from Zollhaus-Blumberg to Weizen consisting of ex DB Umbau-Wagen in the Wutach valley railroad aka Sauschwänzlebahn.
Built in 1939 by BMAG - Berliner Maschinenbau AG, the V36 204 of the Bahnbetriebe Blumberg, is one of the few still Functioning Wehrmachtslokomotiven of the type WR 360 C 14. The V 36 series were originally developed by the German Wehrmacht during world war two to obtain a shunting locomotive for potentially explosive locations. The fact that the locomotives were quickly ready for use and could not expose the sensitive locations due to little or no steam and smoke emissions also promoted the widespread use of the design. A total of 313 machines of the WR 360 C14 type were delivered, which were used in a wide variety of areas of the army (Heeres) and air force (Luftwaffe).
