Orekhoff 0-6-4 Locomotives in Russia


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 12242)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 21 p. 82. Works numbers were 15637-15639 in December 1897.

Full-size tanks for mixed traffic service, the three engines in this batch were tasked to average 45 versts/hour (approx 47.7 km/h or 29.6 mph) on the level pulling 200 tons or 25 versts/hour (26.5 km/h or 16.5 mph) on a 0.6% grade.

In 1902, the Orekhoff was merged into the Moscow-Kazan and the engines were renumbered.
