Comment

In 1851, the "Seraing", built by Cockerill for the "Semmering Competition", took part in these competitive trips on the north ramp of the world's first alpine railway. The double boiler locomotive, with center firebox, was driving on 2 bogies with 2 axles, whose axles were controlled by 2 separate cylindrical pairs.
She had good cornering behavior, for a high pulling force.
