В 1921-1924 гг. по советскому заказу в Германии и Швеции было построено 1200 паровозов серии Э, получивших соответственно обозначения Эг (700 шт.) и Эш (500 шт.). Паровоз Эш 4444 построен заводом Нюдквист и Гольм в 1924 г. В годы войны входил в состав колонны паровозов особого резерва и эксплуатировался на прифронтовых линиях. Поступил в музей с испытательного кольца ВНИИЖТ на ст. Щербинка в 1997 г. Музей железнодорожной техники, Санкт-Петербург English: Steam freight locomotive Esh 4444 Weight in working order:excluding tender 80.41.including tender 125 t.Design speed 65 kphMaximum power at wheel rim 1300 hp 1200 Class E locomotives were built for the Soviet railways in Germany and Sweden during 1921-24, and were designated EG (700 locomotives) and ESH (500 locomotives). ESH-4444 was built by Nydquist and Holm in 1924. During the war it was part of the special locomotive reserve, and was used on lines near the battle front. This locomotive came to the museum from the VNIIZhT test circle at Shcherbinka in 1997.
context_page_description: A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine. These locomotives are fuelled by burning combustible material—usually coal, wood, or oil—to produce steam in a boiler. The steam moves reciprocating pistons which are mechanically connected to the locomotive's main wheels. Both fuel and water supplies are carried with the locomotive, either on the locomotive itself or in wagons pulled behind.
  Steam locomotives were first developed in the United Kingdom during the early 19th century and used for railway transport until the middle of the 20th century. Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive in 1802. The first commercially successful steam locomotive was built in 1812–13 by John Blenkinsop, the Salamanca, the Locomotion No. 1, built by George Stephenson and his son Robert's company Robert Stephenson and Company, was the first steam locomotive to haul passengers on a public railway, the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825. In 1830, George Stephenson opened the first public inter-city railway, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
context_section_description: The most-manufactured single class of steam locomotive in the world is the 0-10-0 Russian locomotive class E steam locomotive with around 11,000 produced both in Russia and other countries such as Czechoslovakia, Germany, Sweden, Hungary and Poland. The Russian locomotive class O numbered 9,129 locomotives, built between 1890 and 1928. Around 7,000 units were produced of the German DRB Class 52 2-10-0 Kriegslok.
  In Britain, 863 of the GWR 5700 class were built, and 943 of the DX class of the London and North Western Railway - including 86 engines built for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
