Sentetsu Puri class

Purisa class (プ リ サ)

The Sentetsu-Puri class ( . Kor 푸러 , Jap. プリ , Engl. Pure or Pureo ) comprises standard gauge - tank locomotives the wheel arrangement 2-6-2 (1C1) from different manufacturers, among others, by the Chosen Government Railway ( Sentetsu in) Korea under Japanese rule and their successor societies were used.

Name and numbering

The name Puri comes from a corruption of the American word prairie after the type designation of traction vehicles after Whyte .

The numbering in the third syllable of the classification consists of abbreviated Japanese numbers:

• 1 - i (イ), from イ チ, "ichi"
• 2 - ni (ニ), from ニ, "ni"
• 3 - sa (サ), from サ ン, "san"
• 4 - shi (シ), from シ, "shi"
• 5 - ko (コ), from ゴ, "go"
• 6 - ro (ロ), from ロ ク, "roku"
• 7 - na (ナ), from ナ ナ, "nana"
• 8 - ha (ハ), from ハ チ, "hachi"

history

First, a set of 18 Puri locomotives for the Gyeongbu Railway was imported from Baldwin Locomotive Works in the US for use on the Seoul - Busan route . In total there were 8 classes for the state lines and private railways such as the Gyeongchun Railway . All locomotives of this class, with the exception of the Puriha class (プ リ ハ, Puri-8), had a drive wheel set diameter of 1,370 mm and a top speed of 75 km / h.

After the liberation of Korea from Japanese rule , the Puri-class 169 of the remaining 279 locomotives went to the Korean National Railroad in South Korea and 110 to the Korean State Railway in North Korea .

Purii class (プ リ イ)

The first 18 steam locomotives of the Purii class were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the USA for the Gyeongbu Railway and delivered from 1901. Some were used in the construction of the Gyeongui line in 1905 , and all were taken over by the Sentetsu after it took over the Gyeongbu Railway in 1906. In 1906, a further 52 pieces were supplied by Baldwin as kits and then assembled in the Busan Locomotive Works and Incheon Shops. Sentetsun used them for passenger and freight traffic throughout Korea. Starting in 1925, some of these locomotives were converted into the Purishi class so that they could be fired with locally mined brown coal.

A total of 24 Purii-class locomotives with the numbers 221 to 224 were not converted. When the Sentetsu was renumbered in 1938, only 23 locomotives with the numbers プ レ イ 1 to プ レ イ 23 were in operation. At least four Purii class locomotives with the numbers 푸러 1-11, 푸러 1-14, 푸러 1-17 and 푸러 1-21 were taken over from the Korean National Railway.

Purini class (プ リ ニ)

The Purini class was introduced in 1905. Nine locomotives were built by the Brooks Locomotive Works in the United States. Unlike the Purii class, they had a superheater . They were delivered as a kit and assembled in the Incheon Shops. Another locomotive of this class was built by Nippon Sharyō in 1935 . At least four Purii-class locomotives with the numbers 푸러 2-4, 푸러 2-8 and 푸러 2-9 were taken over from the Korean National Railway.

Purisa class (プ リ サ)

The Purisa class comprised 14 locomotives that were built by the Borsig works in Germany in 1912 . They were larger than the previous classes, with larger coal and water supplies. They were the first locomotives in Korea with Heusinger controls (Walschaerts Valve Gear). They were delivered as a kit and assembled in the Sentetsu Shops in Busan .

Purishi class (プ リ シ)

The Purishi class comprised some refurbished Purii class locomotives that had been rebuilt in the Sentetsu Shops in Gyeongseong in 1925 . The fire box was much larger in order to be able to use brown coal, which has a lower calorific value than hard coal . The boiler volume and the heat transfer were increased accordingly. There was a fire extinguisher and a larger stoker . When the Sentetsu locomotives were renumbered in 1938, they were given the numbers プ レ シ 1 to プ レ シ 46.

Puriko class (プ リ コ)

In the Puriko class there were two locomotives built by Baldwin in 1911 for a private railway in Korea.

Puriro class (プ リ ロ)

The Puriro class consisted of two locomotives built by Orenstein & Koppel in Germany in 1911 for a private railway in Korea. Like the Puriko class locomotives, they were taken over by Sentetsu in 1930.

After the liberation, both locomotives were used in North Korea by the Korean State Railways . They were eventually renumbered. One was numbered 307 and was inspected by Kim Jong-il as a child on September 6, 1954 at Rajin Railway Station . This locomotive was also shown on a special postage stamp from the DPRK Post.

Purina class (プ リ ナ)

The Purina class was designed by the Railway Bureau based on the experience gained from operating the earlier classes. The first locomotives of this class were built in the Gyeongseong Shops and delivered in 1930. A total of twelve locomotives of this class were built by the Gyeongseong Shops in 1930–1931 and another four locomotives were built by Kawasaki for a private railway.

The Purina class differed significantly from the imported Puri classes. Although there was officially only one class, it could be divided into two sub-classes, the “Original Purina” and “Bureau Purina” (局 プ リ ナ). Another 18 locomotives were built in 1938 in the Gyeongseong Shops and by Nippon Sharyō for Sentetsu. From 1939 to 1941, Kawasaki and Hitachi built another 9 locomotives for the privately operated Gyeongchun Railway , which was taken over when Korail was liberated .

Many Purina-class locomotives came to the Korean National Railroad in South Korea after the liberation. There were at least 15 with the numbers 푸러 7-5, 푸러 7-9, 푸러 7-11, 푸러 7-15 to 17 as well as 푸러 7-25, 푸러 7-31, 푸러 7-48, 푸러 7-62, 푸러 7-64, 푸러 7-86, 푸러 7-87, 푸러 7-89 and 푸러 7-90 are used. The locomotives that remained in North Korea were added to the 1300 series. At least two of them with the numbers 1304 and 1319 were still operational in the 21st century.

Puriha class (プ リ ハ)

The Puriha class was the eighth and final class of 2-6-2 locomotives in Korea. Sentetsu designed and built this in 1932 at the Gyeongsong Works. They were considered very advanced when they were introduced. Another 15 locomotives were built in 1939 by Nippon Sharyō and Kisha Seizō . Their driving wheelset diameter of 1,520 mm was larger than that of earlier locomotives, so that their top speed rose to 90 km / h. They were mainly used for express trains on the Gyeongin Line and were taken over after the liberation of Korail.
