In 1912, the then kk priv. Southern Railway Company ordered a tank locomotive for heavy passenger train service as a replacement for the series 229 locomotives that had become too weak. The locomotive factory of the State Railway Company then developed the superheated steam type series 629 as the first tank locomotive in the world with the Pacific wheel arrangement 2'C1'. The first 629 was delivered to the Southern Railway Company in 1913, and 14 more in a total of 3 delivery series followed in the next two years. The extraordinarily positive experience with this series prompted the Imperial and Royal State Railways to purchase 25 almost identical locomotives by the end of the monarchy in 1918.
Fifteen Southern Railway machines and ten State Railway machines remained in Austria after the First World War. 15 had to be handed over to the newly founded CSD, which designated them as 354.121 to 135.
