The 0-8-0 steam locomotives of kkStB Class 73 were operated by the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways (kaiserlich-königliche österreichische Staatsbahnen), or k.k.StB, forfreight duties. They were built by the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik between 1878 and 1911. After 1921 they were later operated by Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) and following the annexation of Austria in 1938, they were incorporated within Deutsche Reichsbahn Class 55.
