Steam locomotive at the Finnish railway station in St. Petersburg.

in travel •  6 years ago 

The steam locomotive H2-293 was built in 1900 by the American locomotive building company Richmond Locomotive Works under the serial number 2991. In 1913 it was purchased by the Finnish Railways Administration and operated suburban trains on the St. Petersburg-Raivola section. From this station I often go to my village near St. Petersburg.

This locomotive is installed in the show-window pavilion as a symbol of the first railroad in Russia.
