Fireless steam locomotive Lok-1 of the erstwhile Zellstoffwerke Pirna catches the rain on 22 August 2026 at the SEF's depot at Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf. In areas where open fire was forbidden fireless steam locos like this one were used before the rise pof Diesel shunting engines. The workings are the same as of a normal steam loco, albeit that fuel and fire wre not exposed to the open air to reduce the risks of fire.

Thanks to a friend of mine who had an appointment in the DGEG railway museum at Bochum-Dahlhausen on 24 September 2026, some items in the loco shed could be photographed like this fireless steam loco, Lok-120 of the Süddeutsche Kabelwerke Mannheim.
