The Soviet locomotive class P36 (Russian: П36) was a Soviet mainline passenger steam locomotive type. Between 1950 and 1956 251 locomotives were built. The locomotives were nicknamed Generals because of the red stripe down the side. The P36 had the same power as a class IS locomotive but the axle loading of 18 tons allowed its use on the vast majority of Russian railway lines replacing class Su 2-6-2s and significantly increasing the weight of passenger trains.
