The series Б (German transcription B) brings together steam locomotives from various Russian railway companies that were intended for express train traffic. Sometimes different names were originally used.
history
In 1905 the Moskowsko-Kijewsko-Voroneschskaja Schelesnaja Doroga ordered three locomotives from the Bryansk machine factory for their express train service, which were to be based on the Г (G) series delivered from 1901 to 1903 . These were delivered in 1907 as А Б (A B ) 125 to 127. The 2C wheel arrangement (according to Russian nomenclature 2-3-0) of the Г series was retained, and the dimensions were only slightly changed. In contrast to the Г series, which were used with four-axle tenders, the А Б 125 to 127 three-axle tenders received. During test drives, a speed of 125 km / h was achieved, but initially only 105 km / h, later 115 km / h.
Series production began in 1909 for various Russian railway companies. Orders were also placed with the Luhansk locomotive factory . Different series designations were used depending on the railway company, and the numbering was also carried out separately. Four-axle tenders were sometimes used. From 1912 the series designation "Б" was used uniformly, both for the previously delivered and for the subsequently built locomotives. This designation had previously only been used by the Tashkentskaya Sheleznaya Doroga . Overlapping of the number ranges was still not taken into account, so that there were identically designated locomotives at different railway companies. The construction of the series Б ended in 1914, a total of 252 locomotives were built, 153 of them in Bryansk and 99 in Luhansk. In the interwar period , 15 locomotives of the series were used by the Latvian State Railways Latvijas Valsts Dzelzsceļi (LVD) and designated as the Ck or Ckb series.
After the railway companies were subordinated to the Ministry of Transport ( Ministerstwo putej soobschtschenija , MPS) at the time of the Soviet Union , the series designation was retained. The operational area was later increasingly relocated to the Asian part of the Soviet Union. The Б series was retired in the 1950s.
