The Prussian T 14 (later DRG 93-001 to 459) is a class of 2-8-2 Mikado type tank steam locomotives. They were designed by the prussian Chief Mechanical engineer Robert Garbe, and built for the Königlich Preußische Eisenbahn-Verwaltung (The Royal Prussian State Railways), between 1914 and 1918. Their task consisted of pulling goods trains for the Berliner metropolitan network. After WWI many locomotives find use on the network of other countries.
