The starting point for Russian steam engine building came in 1833. The Cherepanov father and son team, self-taught inventors, created … “a land steamer that moves along iron wheel lines.” That’s what they called the first machine, which was used to carry ore at Ural factory. It could shift three tons of cargo at a speed of 16 kilometers per hour. “It is absolutely clear that fast motion would lead to brain illnesses among passengers,” doctors wrote in 1837. A half century would pass, however, and people wouldn’t be able to imagine life without railways. How Russian steam engines were created, and the role they’ve played in the history of the country, in a film by RTG.
