Russian Locomotive Class A

The Russian locomotive class A represents a collection of steam engines developed in the early 1900s within the Russian Empire. These locomotives ranked among the most powerful of their era domestically, capable of reaching maximum speeds of up to 115 kilometers per hour.

An illustrative model from this series is the Ab variant featuring a Schmidt superheater. The locomotive identified as Ab 132, produced by the Briansk locomotive works in 1909, is depicted here, with its number displayed between the couplers.
