Lombardo-Venetian and Central Italian Railway Company No. 1 to 50
Austrian Southern Railway class 1, Rete Mediterranea No. 511 to 518, Rete Adriatica No. 31 to 52, and Italian State Railway class 102
Robert Stephenson & Co. delivered a total of 50 2-2-2 express locomotives to the “Lombardisch-venetianische und central-italenische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft” (LVCI) in 1857 and 1858. These were largely identical in design to numbers 155 to 164, which had been supplied by Beyer-Peacock. Shortly afterwards, the newly founded Südbahn took over 15 of them and placed them in class 1.
After Austria-Hungary lost control of Veneto and Lombardy in 1866, the LVCI locomotives went to the Strade Ferrate Alta Italia (SFAI). In 1885 they were divided into eight in the Rete Mediterranea and 22 in the Rete Adriatica. Eleven that came to the RA had recently been rebuilt to the 2-4-0 wheel arrangement. When the Italian State Railways (FS) was founded in 1905, there were still four of them, which were classified in the class 102, some of which survived until 1908.
