Die schwere Güterzug-Lokomotive 043-903-4 wurde 1943 im besetzten Frankreich gebaut. Hersteller war die Compagnie Genérale de Construction de Locomotives Batignolles-Chatillon in Nantes-St. Joseph. Im Oktober 1943 wurde sie von der Deutschen Reichsbahn abgenommen und in Dienst gestellt. Ihre erste Betriebsnummer war 44 903. Die Leistung dieser wuchtigen Maschine lag bei ca. 1900 PS und konnte im Jahr 1960 durch den Umbau von Kohle- auf Ölfeuerung auf 2100 PS gesteigert werden. In ihren letzten Betriebsjahren, in denen sie als 043 903-4 bezeichnet war, beförderte sie regelmäßig den legendären "Langen Heinrich", einen 4000 Tonnen schweren Erzzug. Er war der schwerste Zug der Deutschen Bundesbahn und verkehrte zwischen dem Emdener Erzhafen und dem Ruhrgebiet. Bis Rheine waren ihm jeweils zwei Loks der Baureihe 043 vorgespannt. Die weitere Beförderung übernahmen dann zwei Elektro-Lokomotiven. Die Emdener Denkmal-Lokomotive ist ein besonderes Exemplar, denn sie beförderte am 26.10.1977 den letzten mit Dampf beförderten Planzug der Deutschen Bundesbahn.
English translation:
The heavy freight locomotive 043-903-4 was built in occupied France in 1943. It was manufactured by the Compagnie Générale de Construction de Locomotives Batignolles-Chatillon in Nantes-St. Joseph. In October 1943, it was accepted by the German Reichsbahn and put into service. Its first operating number was 44 903. The power output of this massive machine was approximately 1900 hp and was increased to 2100 hp in 1960 when it was converted from coal to oil firing. In its final years of operation, when it was designated 043 903-4, it regularly hauled the legendary ‘Langer Heinrich’ (Long Henry), a 4000-tons ore train. This was the heaviest train on German Federal Railway's tracks and always double headed. It ran between the ore port of Emden and the Ruhr area. The two class 043 locomotives operated the train as far as Rheine. Two electric locomotives took over for the rest of the journey. The Emden monument locomotive is a special sample because on 26 October 1977 it hauled the last scheduled steam train of the German Federal Railways.
