The vehicles of the series Ц [ t͡sɛ ] (German: Series Z ) were Russian freight train - steam locomotives with the wheel arrangement 1'D. The locomotive was developed by the engineer Wacław Łopuszyński for the Vladikavkaz Railway Company and designed as a two-cylinder composite steam locomotive . According to Łopuszyński's design, Hanomag and Henschel delivered a total of 70 copies to the Wladikawkas Railway in 1896 , which were initially classified as M601 to M670 and, from 1912, were designated as the Ц series.
From 1899 the Russian locomotive factory in Brjansk also delivered copies of the series. For the Chinese Eastern Railway , which is under the same management as the Vladikavkaz Railway , the French company Fives-Lille and the Russian locomotive factory in Kharkov supplied additional units that were given a larger tender because they were fired with lignite . A total of about 130 copies of this series were made. A copy of the series produced at Fives-Lille was exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 .
The Ц series was considered to be a more powerful and at the same time economical locomotive compared to the Russian О series . After they were successfully used on their original railways, other locomotives of the series also ran on other railways in Siberia and the Caucasus . The last copies were still in use around 1955 on the Far East Railway of the SŽD.
