This photograph showcases the most powerful French locomotive that graced the rails in 1914 - the Mikado. An engineering marvel of its time, the Mikado locomotive began service that year with the Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean Railway Company, playing a crucial role in the transportation of goods. The locomotive's impressive power and capabilities were a testament to the advancements in railway technology during the early 20th century. The Mikado was a class 7P locomotive, designed and manufactured by the French engineering firm Schneider-Creusot. The locomotive's twelve powerful cylinders and boiler, which could hold up to 50 tons of water, enabled it to generate an impressive 2,400 horsepower. The cost of each engine was a significant investment at 7,200 French francs. The Mikado locomotive was a sight to behold, with its distinctive red and black livery and impressive dimensions. It measured 11.5 meters in length and weighed over 100 tons. The locomotive's impressive power and efficiency made it a valuable asset to the railway company, and eventually, twelve of these engines were purchased for their goods transportation needs. The Mikado locomotive was imported from Japan, where it had gained a reputation for its power and reliability. The name "Mikado" was derived from the title of the Emperor of Japan at the time. The locomotive's success in France further solidified its place in railway history, making it a symbol of the technological advancements and innovations of the early 20th century. This photograph captures the Mikado locomotive in all its glory, as it prepares to embark on another journey, transporting essential goods across the French countryside. The Mikado's powerful presence and enduring legacy continue to captivate railway enthusiasts and historians alike, making it an iconic symbol of the golden age of railway transportation.
