1-1959 PAROWÓZ PT-47 I WAGON OSOBOWY

Pt47 is a series of steam locomotives (steam locomotives), which were produced in the period 1948-1951 at the Fablok plant in Chrzanów and the Hipolit Cegielski in Poznań (abbreviated: HCP). The length of a single locomotive (with the tender) was 23.84 meters, and the service weight - 103 tons. The diameter of the driving wheels was 1,850 mm, and the locomotive had 1'D1 'axles. A total of 180 locomotives of this type were built. The Pt47 steam locomotives were designed on the basis of the pre-war Pt31 steam locomotive. They had the same axle system and many components, but the Pt47 was slightly heavier and slightly shorter, and had a steam engine with a lower power rating. The new steam locomotive was designed to service long-distance and heavy passenger trains. The design turned out to be relatively successful and was used by PKP on almost all long-distance lines until the 1980s. Until now, only one operational locomotive has survived, which can be admired in the steam locomotive shed in Wolsztyn.
