To meet the increased demands in passenger and express train traffic, the Prussian State Railway developed the P 8 passenger train locomotive. By 1923, over 3,700 examples of this versatile, triple-coupled machine had been built by German factories alone. The P 8 was universally applicable and could be found in front of all types of train. After the turmoil of the two world wars, they were in use by almost all European railway administrations.
After 1918, Poland received a total of 192 machines from Prussian stocks. For the PKP, they were the most important steam locomotives for local passenger traffic from the start and were designated as the Ok1 series. Over the years, PKP used 429 locomotives of this series. The Ok1-359 was only taken out of active service in the early 1980s. However, it was still in use as a museum locomotive for many years.
