In the 1930s the Austrian railways BBÖ used thirteen Class 214 steam locos for the fast trains Salzburg-Vienna. After the nazi-Anschlüss of 1938, these became Class 12. When from 1935 the Romanian railways CFR needed fast passenger steam locos, they ordered 79 engines of a slightly modified Class 214/12 design. Of these CFR machines, 142.063 was bought by ÖGEG (Austrian Railway History Society) and masqueraded as 12.14 enjoys now a lease of life at the Lokpark Ampflwang, where she was photographed on 27 May 2012.
