Breif history of Steam Locomotives class C59, C60
3-cylinder locomotive; class C53 was strong, but had heavy problems with maintenance.
So they became old, and the locomotive that were easily used was needed.
Class C59 was developed to satisfy those needs.
They were ordinary 2-cylinder locomotives, but kept specs the same or over, by the developed mechanics.
They had some problems, but they were very reliable, so they were used to royal trains, despite follower locomotives being built.
They were used to limited expression, but soon WWII occurred. And after the war, a more powerful locomotive; class C62 was developed.
So C59 was an unlucky locomotive.
Some C59s add a trailing wheel and became class C60, and were used to low-grade lines.
A few of them were preserved.
