Baden locomotives and railbuses

This list contains an overview of the locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway (Großherzogliche Baden Staatsbahn), the national railway of the Grand Duchy of Baden, a sovereign state within the German Empire until 1920.
==Classification scheme==
Locomotives in the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway were organised into classes and were given a railway number as well as names. Their names were derived from the animal kingdom, geographical features (rivers, mountains and towns) as well as people. Because the selection of names became increasingly difficult as more and more vehicles were procured, in 1868 the allocation of names was dropped from locomotive number 218 onwards. In 1882, all name plates were removed.
Railway numbers were issued in sequence. When locomotives were retired, their numbers were allocated to the next locomotives to be delivered. Up to 1882 the name was also adopted. In 1872 an attempt was made to organise the sequence of numbers within locomotive classes. The numbers were swapped around, but locomotives retained the same name. Because there were limits to the practicality of this, it was given up again five years later.
From the 1880s the state railway tried again to organise the railway numbers. Initially shunting locomotives began to be allocated numbers starting at 500. As this threshold was soon reached by the normal vehicle fleet, locomotives were given numbers in the 600s and later in the 1000s.
Unlike other railways, class designations were included from the start. For each new design, a new class number was issued. As a result, classes I to XIV had emerged by 1868.
In 1868 a new system was introduced. This entailed engines with the same features or requirements being grouped together.
Class	Type
I 	Light tank locomotives
II 	Newer four-coupled express train locomotives
III 	Older four-coupled express train locomotives
IV 	Passenger train and express train locomotives with the six coupled wheels
V 	Older locomotives for mixed traffic trains
VI 	Newer passenger train tank locomotives
VII 	Goods train locomotives with the six coupled wheels
VIII 	Goods train locomotives with eight coupled wheels
IX 	Rack railway locomotives
X 	Heavy shunting locomotives, crane locomotive
The locomotives previously organised under the old scheme were transferred into the new classes. In order to improve clarity, the old class designations are shown in italics.
Old scheme 	New scheme
I a, I b, I c 	II a (ex I c); others already retired
II 	II b
III a, III b, III c	II b (ex III c); others already retired
IV 	II b
V 	V b
VI 	Already retired
VII 	V c
VIII 	V c
IX 	II a
X a, X b, X c, X d 	VI (ex X c); VII a (ex X d); VII b (ex X a, X b)
XI 	V a
XII 	III
XIII 	I a
XIV 	IV a
Using the additional lower case letters "a" to "h", the various sub-types within a class were distinguished. In addition, each delivery batch was indicated with a superscript.
Thus the VI b10 is the tenth batch of Class VI b passenger train tank locomotives.
==Steam Locomotives==
The class designations used before 1868 are shown in italics in the following tables for greater clarity.
===Early Broad Gauge Locomotives for All Traffic Types===
These locomotives were originally built for the Baden broad gauge of and were largely rebuilt on their conversion in 1854 to standard gauge. None of the locomotives were reclassified with Deutsche Reichsbahn running numbers.
