This article contains a list of locomotives and railbuses of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany) (DR) according to the numbering system introduced by the DR on 1 July 1970.

Following the October 1990 reunification of Germany, the DR's locomotives and railbuses were incorporated (and renumbered) on 1 January 1992 into the classification system

Locomotive classification of the Deutsche Bundesbahn

Originally, both Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn continued the classification system of the Deutsche Reichsbahn - see also a short overview of the numbering system of the German railways. When UIC introduced a new classification system that could be processed by the computers of the...

(DB), originally issued on 1 January 1968, in preparation for the merger of the two German national railways that took place on 1 January 1994. This renumbering was also described as the 'locomotive classification of the Deutsche Bahn AG' as a number of changes and additions to the DB's 1968 system were needed.

DRG locomotive classification

The DRG locomotive classification system was developed by the German Imperial Railway Company or Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft , which was formed in 1924 following the merger of the German state railways in 1920...

Steam locomotives

In the DR numbering plan the following additional practices were common:

• xx.6xxx locomotives, that originated from former private railways.

From 1970 the following sub-classes for all steam locomotives were introduced, the locomotive number always being four digits long:

• xx.0 locomotives with oil-firing
• xx.1–8 locomotives with grate firing
• xx.9 locomotives with coal dust firing

Class Class (locomotive) Class refers to a group of locomotives built to a common design for a single railroad. Often members of a particular class had detail variations between individual examples, and these could lead to subclasses. Sometimes technical alterations move a locomotive from one class to another...
