context_page_description: The Russian locomotive class Ye, and subclasses Yeᵃ, Yeᵏ, Yeˡ, Yeᶠ, Yeᵐ, Yeᵐᵛ and Yeˢ were a series of 2-10-0 locomotives built by American builders for the Russian railways in World War I and again in World War II. They were lightweight engines with relatively low axle loadings.
  Due to the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, 200 locomotives were stranded in the United States; these were fitted with wider tires
context_section_description: The State Railroads of Finland purchased 20 American Decapods after World War II - these were originally built for the Soviet Union, but never delivered to them. Of the 20 engines, 10 were manufactured by Baldwin, 10 by Alco. Since they were originally built for the USSR, they had the correct gauge for Finland, too (1,524 mm (5 ft) exactly). One (Alco # 75214, 1947) is preserved at the Finnish Railway Museum in Hyvinkää, Finland.
  The locomotive had Finnish designation Tr2 (Tavarajuna, Raskas - Freight Train, Heavy) and nickname Truman after US President Harry S Truman, as they were acquired during the Truman administration. They were delivered in 1946 and phased out 1968 as diesel and electricity superseded steam on Finnish railways. The Trumans were the most powerful freight train steam engines ever employed by the Finnish State Railways.
