Service
The Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway procured a total of 135 of these engines between 1914 and 1921 in nine batches. After the end of the First World War, 15 locomotives had to be given away to France and 13 to Belgium as part of the reparations required under the terms of the Versailles Treaty. The remaining 107 went to the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The lighter units of the first seven series were grouped into DRG Class 75.4, the heavier vehicles with a reinforced locomotive frame of the last two series were designated as DRG Class 75.10-11.
After the Second World War 66 Class VI c engines went into the Deutsche Bundesbahn, where they were stationed at various locomotive depots including Freiburg, Offenburg, Radolfzell, Singen, Waldshut, Karlsruhe and Villingen. In 1967 the last one serving with the Bundesbahn, number 75 1118, was retired. The Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany still had some of these engines working at that time.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“O good old man, how well in thee appears
The constant service of the antique world,
When service sweat for duty, not for meed!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The master class seldom lose a chance to insult a woman who has the ability for something besides service to his lordship.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
