Pt47
Vehicle type:
Registration country:
Railway companies:
1948
Following the successful PKP Class Pt31, the main difference is the
addition of circular tubes in the fire chamber, thereby
significantly increasing boiler performance. This class also
featured a superheater and many have mechanical stokers to feed
coal into the firebox. 180 locomotives were built in total between
1948-1951.
Although heavy, the Pt47 is powerful and fast. Its main use was to carry heavy fast trains, especially on long distance routes, for example on the difficult route from Cracow to Krynica.
