The S 6 achieved its highest indicated power of 1,160 PS (870 kW or 1,170 hp) at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph). On the level it could haul a train of 500 tonnes (490 long tons; 550 short tons) (the equivalent of 13 eight-wheeled D-Zug coaches) at a continuous speed of 90 km/h (56 mph). On engines with a feedwater preheater the performance was about 10% higher.

“O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavour be so loved, and the performance so loathed?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.”
