The original – the Asia Express SL7

The Asia Express (Japanese: Ajia) was a legendary express train that ran from 1934 between Dairen (now Dalian, China) and Hsinking (now Changchun) in Manchuria – a region then under Japanese administration. It was operated by the South Manchuria Railway and was considered one of the fastest and most luxurious trains in Asia of its time. The SL7 type locomotive (also known as «Asia») was developed specifically for this train and had a top speed of up to 130 km/h. The train was designed for the upper passenger class and offered dining cars and sleeping compartments. The arrow-like silver look of the locomotive made it one of the most elegant trains of the steam era.
