Saxon I

The Saxon Class I (Sächsische I) was a class of steam locomotive operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways with a axle arrangement. The engines were supplied by various manufacturers for mixed duties.

History
In 1871, the Royal Saxon State Railways grouped into Class I all those locomotives that had been procured from various manufacturers in the early years of state railway construction in the Kingdom of Saxony. These were all vehicles with a leading carrying axle and two coupled axles. The oldest locomotives of this class were procured in 1847 by the Saxon-Bavarian Railway. The last Class I locomotive was retired in 1887. No museum pieces have survived.
