      The class 44 was a heavy freight locomotive that was built from 1926 to 1949. It was mainly used on low mountain routes. The Altenbeken locomotive was in operation until 1976 and was set up in Altenbeken as early as 1977 - near the viaduct that the locomotive often traveled on.

        40 years ago a convoy brought the museum locomotive to Altenbeken on the last run of 044 389-5

        Altenbeken (WB). Friday, October 14, 1977: Around noon a convoy breaks out in Paderborn to bring the 129-tonne freight to Altenbeken on two heavy-duty transporters from the railway. It is the last trip on the 044 389-5, which had steamed around 1.5 million kilometers through Germany since 1941.

        It was a media event 40 years ago. Even television teams wanted to document this unique transport. But the day before, the events rolled over: After the kidnapping of Hans Martin Schleyer by the RAF, the kidnapping of Landshut was added on Thursday, and the media were fascinated by the dramatic events abroad.
