The first steam locomotive in Russia was designed and manufactured by the father and son Cherepanovs Efim and Miron in 1833 at one of the Nizhny Tagil factories. In the Mining Journal, the novelty was described as follows: “The land steamer, arranged by them, now goes in both directions along cast-iron wheel ducts specially prepared for a length of 400 sazhens (853.5 m). Their steamer was repeatedly in action and showed in practice that it can carry more than 200 pounds (3.3 tons) of gravity at a speed of 12 to 15 miles per hour (13 - 16 km / h).→
