The Phoenix of the Saxon-Bohemian State Railroad was a double-coupled passenger train - a tender locomotive .
history
The locomotive was manufactured around 1846 by a former employee of the Saxon mechanical engineering company Carl August Rabenstein in his company as one of two. However, he was unable to sell the locomotive. Eventually, Hartmann bought the locomotive. After a few changes, the locomotive with the serial number 25 was sold to the Saxon-Bohemian State Railroad in 1851.
This went on in 1858 in the Royal Saxon State Railways , where the locomotive was later classified in the class HI . It was given track number 220.
In 1869 the locomotive was converted into a tank locomotive and was given the name PSYCHE .
technical features
It was equipped with a cylindrical standing boiler with a vaulted ceiling, a sheet metal inner frame, horizontal outer cylinders, an internal Stephenson gate control and a rigid running axis. The locomotive had an open driver's cab. The suspension was provided by leaf spring packages above the axles.
When it was converted to a tank locomotive, it received a distinctive saddle tank for the feed water. The locomotive also received a driver's cab.
