what is it?
The Prussian G 9 was the last saturated (i.e non-superheated) locomotive class developed for the Prussian state railways. A total of 200 were put into service between 1908 and 1911, first by Schichau, and later by other locomotive manufacturers. Since problems arose with the G 8, the superheated steam technology was not really trusted.
