Hipolit Cegielski Metal Works in Poznań produced 122 engines in the period of 1928–1933.[1]

Operation

The OKl27 class serviced mainly local transport, especially suburban lines.

After the German invasion of Poland in World War II, 120 of the 122 OKl27 locomotives were taken into the Deutsche Reichsbahn fleet as 75 1201 to 75 1320.[2]

Preservation

Four engines have survived: OKl27-10 in Skierniewice (as an exhibit), OKl27-26 in Warsaw Railroad Museum (as an exhibit), OKl27-27 in Gdynia (as an exhibit) and OKl27-41 in Chabówka.
