The railway emerged from its infancy at the beginning of the 20th century and became the first means of mass transport. The Floridsdorf locomotive factory delivered the first locomotives of the class 310 to the Imperial-Royal Austrian State Railways (kkStB).
With its massive four-cylinder compound engine, more than 2.10-metre high driving and coupling wheels, and a mighty boiler, it is considered by many railway enthusiasts to be the most beautiful steam locomotive in Austria.
The locomotive developed by engineer Dr h.c. Karl Gölsdorf was the most influential locomotive in Austrian steam locomotive construction and quickly attracted the interest of neighbouring railway companies. In following the tradition of testing newly developed locomotives with friendly national railways, it is quite conceivable that a comparison was made with the "Beautiful Württembergerin." The locomotive was also painted in the matching colours of the Royal Württemberg State Railways.
