The '''Class 62''' engines were standard (see ''[[Einheitsdampflokomotive]]n'') [[passenger train]] [[tank locomotives]] of Germany's [[Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft]] (DRG).

The Class 62s were developed and delivered by the firm of [[Henschel]] for the Reichsbahn during the 1920s. The engines were two-[[Cylinder (locomotive)|cylinder]] [[superheated]] [[steam locomotives]]. Fifteen units were manufactured. Although the engines were built as early as 1928, the Deutsche Reichsbahn did not take over numbers 62 003–015 until 1932. This was due to the low priority for such engines in the Reichsbahn, as well as the high cost. During the 1930s they were stationed at the [[locomotive depot]]s (''Bahnbetriebswerke'' or ''Bw'') of [[Düsseldorf]] marshalling yard, [[Sassnitz]] on the island of [[Rügen]] and [[Meiningen]]. After the [[Second World War]] eight examples were left in the hands of the [[Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany)|DR]] in [[East Germany]] and seven with the [[Deutsche Bundesbahn]].

Up to 1967, engines in [[East Germany|GDR]] were distributed around various depots including, for example, Meiningen, [[Berlin]] [[Berlin Ostbahnhof|Ostbahnhof]] and [[Rostock]]. The engines also spent a short while in [[Wittenberge]] and [[Berlin-Lichtenberg]] depots. Number 62 007 was stationed from 8 April to 6 May 1967 in [[Schwerin]], but was only stored there. In 1968 they were assembled at [[Frankfurt (Oder)]] shed. There the engines hauled trains on the Frankfurt (Oder)-[[Erkner]] route. At the beginning of 1970 only numbers 62 007, 62 014 and 62 015 were still in operation, in the Est Wriezen where they headed trains to Berlin-[[Lichtenberg, Berlin|Lichtenberg]]. Number 62 007 was retired there in 1972, the last engine in schedule services, but continued to be used as a heating engine until 1973. The only surviving locomotive, no. 62 015, is today owned by the [[Deutsche Bahn AG|DB]] ([[Nuremberg Transport Museum]]) and is housed in the locomotive shed of the former [[Dresden]]-Altstadt depot. Until 1997 the engine was used to haul nostalgia trains.

Immediately after the war, after they had been sent to [[Wuppertal]], the Deutsche Bundesbahn housed its vehicles at [[Dortmund]], [[Düsseldorf]], [[Essen]], and [[Krefeld]]. By 1956 the DB's Class 62s had been taken out of service. The last engine, 62 003, was retired in 1968 in [[Schwerte]], after it had served as an instructional model from 1956 to 1966 in the engine driver school in [[Troisdorf]].
