Adopted to add adhesive weight on light rail lines, these were heavy freight examples based on Anatole Mallet's articulated locomotive design. Although low-drivered, their outsized cabs, tall, dustbin-shaped steam dome, and cabbage stacks (used to catch sparks that would otherwise set the woods around afire) reduced their apparent size. They were successful and soon adopted by other Russian railroads such as the Trans-Siberian. (Reder, 1974, pl 330))
Robert Hendry's "Russian Railways Group" article -- from [], accessed 19 March 2005 -- credits the design with a 1,250 tonnage rating up the ruling grade of 1.3%.
