VR 859, Tender locomotive at Kouvola Railway Station, Finland
The VR 859, named Ruuhveltti, stands as a restored 2-8-0 steam locomotive with green paintwork and black smokebox at Kouvola station's display area.
Built as part of the VR Class Tk3 series between 1927 and 1953, this locomotive operated freight services across Finnish secondary railway lines until 1975.
The locomotive belongs to the Tk3 class, which Finnish railway workers referred to as Pikku-Jumbo due to its efficient performance despite its lighter construction.
The locomotive's design allowed for a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour while maintaining a low axle load suitable for secondary track operations.
This locomotive burned birch wood as fuel and generated 94 kilonewtons of tractive effort while weighing 51.8 tonnes in its operational configuration.
