| Remarks & Notes |
| Portrait of the Soviet steam locomotive L 5141.The class L locomotives were designed and built by the Kolomna Locomotive Works shortly after World War II under the supervision of L.C. Lebedyanski. It was originally designated class P (for Pobyeda, "victory"), but was redesigned later as class L in honor of its designer. The class L was primarily used to haul mainline goods across the Soviet Union. Over 4000 L class locomotives were constructed between 1945 and 1955, and they operated with the Soviet Railways until 1975. The L class was the first Russian locomotive to use Boxpok-type wheels, which were commonplace in steam locomotive design post-World War II. A casing between the dome and chimney covered a steam drier pipe. |
