Motive power usually consists of three sets of locomotives and a lone electric locomotive pushing at the rear end of the train. Each locomotive set usually consists of one Class 9E or 15E electric and one or two Class 34 or diesel-electric locomotives, with each set’s electric locomotive controlling its respective diesel-electric companions by means of a (smart cable). In effect, each ore train is therefore made up of three separate 114-wagon trains consisted together, with the locomotives of all three trains and the pusher locomotive at the rear end all controlled by means of a Locotrol radio distributed power control system by one crew in the leading electric locomotive. A typical train would therefore be made up of locomotive set A, 114 wagons, locomotive set B, 114 wagons, locomotive set C, 114 wagons, and the pusher locomotive.

For as long as there have been railroads, locomotive changes have been essential to the officials of the railroads, so that a locomotive could be exchanged for the rest of the trip to the next locomotive changing facility or the destination of the train. Without these facilities, locomotives will suffer from wear and tear or in the era of the steam locomotive, the locomotive will also suffer a lack of fuel and water. Many of the original locations where steam was exchanged for another steam locomotive for the remainder of the trip have been closed since diesel locomotives replaced steam locomotives on the point of both freight and passenger trains. In some cases, an electric locomotive would be replaced by a steam or diesel locomotive for the remainder of the trip.

Over 600 were built by the Lima Locomotive Works, the American Locomotive Company, and Baldwin Locomotive Works.
The Locomotive Assistant/Fireman's duty is to assist the driver with the safe and efficient operation of the locomotive. The fireman performs controlled firing to raise sufficient steam pressure for the drivers usage on a steam locomotive. The fireman is also responsible for maintaining sufficient water level in the boiler and performing shunting where required. The Locomotive Assistant on a diesel locomotive can be thought of as a first officer, assisting the driver and watching the road ahead, as well as performing shunting where required.
The locomotive was equipped was a multiple-unit control. The idea behind this was to lead a 425 t-train on the adjacent lines with low gradient using a Be 4/6 and then boosting it up for the steep gradients at the gotthard railway line using a Be 3/5. The idea of operating the train with one locomotive driver on the leading locomotive was definitely plausible. But the problem was, that for driving back the locomotive to the starting point another locomotive driver was needed.

The locomotive was an oil-burner and used outside mounted Morton's valve gear. Apart from being named, it was also numbered 11 on the Cape Copper Company locomotive roster.
Remote-control equipped locomotive A remote control locomotive (also called an RCL) is a railway locomotive that can be operated with a remote control. It differs from a conventional locomotive in that a remote control system has been installed in one or more locomotives within the train, which uses either a mechanical or radio transmitter and receiver system. The locomotive is operated by a person not physically located at the controls within the confines of the locomotive cab. They have been in use for many years in the railroad industry, including industrial applications such as bulk material load-out, manufacturing, process and industrial switching.
A New Jersey Transit train with ALP-46 locomotives on both ends and 11 cars in between, in New Jersey, United States. Alternatively, a push–pull train, especially a long one, may have a locomotive on both ends so that there is always one locomotive pushing and one locomotive pulling. In this case, caution must be used to make sure that the two locomotives do not put too much stress on the cars from uneven locomotives. It is usual to arrange matters so that the trailing locomotive supplies less power and that the locomotive at the front does more pulling than the locomotive at the rear does pushing.

This type of locomotive is often called a Huntington' type. The configuration was most often used for tank engines, which is noted by adding letter suffixes to the configuration, such as for a conventional side-tank locomotive, for a saddle-tank locomotive, for a well-tank locomotive and for a rack-equipped tank locomotive.
A driving wheel on a steam locomotive showing the crescent-shaped balance weight. This section is an introduction to the balancing of two steam engines connected by driving wheels and axles as assembled in a railway locomotive. The effects of unbalanced inertias in a locomotive are briefly shown by describing measurements of locomotive motions as well as deflections in steel bridges. These measurements show the need for various balancing methods as well as other design features to reduce vibration amplitudes and damage to the locomotive itself as well as to the rails and bridges.
Hudsons also realised the advantages of the internal combustion locomotive and the 1915 catalogue offered a range of five petrol (gasoline) locomotive supplied by Avonside Engine Company of Bristol. When the Fordson petrol tractor became widely available in the 1920s Hudsons adapted this unit to make a simple locomotive. The locomotive used a four-wheeled cast chassis to which a roller chain drive connected to the tractor axle. The tractor gearbox had three forward speeds but only one reverse gear, which clearly was a limitation for a locomotive that has to operate bi-directionally.
In 1926 Kitson and Company, locomotive builders of Leeds, England, produced a steam–diesel hybrid locomotive, the Kitson Still locomotive. This was loaned for trials to the London and North Eastern Railway and used successfully to haul heavy coal trains, but the difference in the cost of coal used by a conventional locomotive, against the fuel oil used by the hybrid, was not great. When Kitson's failed in 1934, a failure to which the development costs of the hybrid locomotive had contributed, the receivers sold the machine for scrap.
In the motion picture The Polar Express, the "know-it-all" boy identifies the train's locomotive as a Baldwin 2-8-4 built in 1931, although the actual prototype for the film's locomotive was the Pere Marquette no. 1225, a Berkshire built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1941. In the Transformers television series, motion picture and toy line, the Decepticon triple changer Astrotrain is modeled on a Japanese Class D62 2-8-4 locomotive. Locomon in the motion picture Digimon: Runaway Locomon is a 2-8-4 type locomotive.
The modified program then included a local passenger train locomotive (class E 41); an express train locomotive (class E 10), which could be changed into a freight train locomotive (Class E 40) with a gear ratio change, and a heavy six-axle freight train locomotive (class E 50). In addition plans for a high speed electric locomotive Class E 01 were made, but quickly cancelled, as, due to low maximum speeds on the main lines at that time, the class E 10 was seen as sufficient for express trains.
The locomotive (steam engines and wagons, bridge and iron structures) factories were installed in Vienna (Locomotive Factory of the State Railway Company, founded in 1839), in Wiener Neustadt (New Vienna Locomotive Factory, founded in 1841), and in Floridsdorf (Floridsdorf Locomotive Factory, founded in 1869). The Hungarian Locomotive (engines and wagons bridge and iron structures) factories were the MÁVAG company in Budapest (steam engines and wagons) and the Ganz company in Budapest (steam engines, wagons, the production of electric locomotives and electric trams started from 1894). and the RÁBA Company in Győr.
SAR Class 21, c. 1937 In 1937, the South African Railways (SAR) placed one Class 21 steam locomotive with a Texas wheel arrangement in service, designed as a mixed traffic locomotive suitable for light rail. It was designed by A.G. Watson, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the SAR from 1929 to 1936, and built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow. Only the one locomotive was built, at the time representing the maximum power obtainable on Cape gauge from a ten- coupled non-articulated locomotive that was limited to a axle load on rail.
The chimney was usually located at the leading end of the locomotive, above the smokebox, furthest away from the driver's cab and firebox. The earliest locomotive chimneys were typically tall enough to sustain temperature-induced density difference draught through a fire-tube boiler while the locomotive was stationary. However, following the example of Richard Trevithick's first locomotive in 1804, most designs diverted steam cylinder exhaust upward through the chimney to create a vacuum in the smokebox, thereby accelerating airflow through the firebox while the locomotive was in motion.White, p.
The locomotive was Class 23 No. 188, a six-coupled locomotive, which was usually to be found on goods workings, but was regularly used on excursion traffic. The train ran down the gradient towards Penistone station when the locomotive, having no leading wheels to guide it, jumped the points where the goods line diverged from the main line on the approach to the Huddersfield Junction signal box. The locomotive crew stood by their posts and applied the brakes. The coaches followed the locomotive into the "six-foot" ripping up some 25 yards of track.
Wilfred Caswell was the engineer assigned to the construction train for the Harrison extension in 1898. Wilfred was the Portland Company mechanical engineer who supervised construction of the first Maine narrow gauge Forney locomotive with a pilot truck (B&SR; locomotive number 5) in 1906. Wilfred then served as a consulting engineer for Baldwin Locomotive Works during construction of B&SR; locomotive number 6 and an identical locomotive for the Sandy River Railroad.

The very limited power of the small traction unit was always an issue, and on the steeply graded Forest of Dean Railway section it proved impracticable. Instead higher capacity units known as auto-trains, consisting of a tank locomotive coupled to one or two coaches were used. The coach remote from the locomotive had driving controls and a mechanical linkage enabled the driver to operate the locomotive regulator. Some configurations marshalled an intermediate trailer between the driving trailer and the locomotive, and in the extreme this could be done both ends of the locomotive, giving four passenger coaches.

The Semmering Trials led to a number of developments in locomotive design: Fairlie's Patent of 1863, The Meyer locomotive and the Mallet locomotive. The Engerth design articulated the tender with the main locomotive frame, allowing some of the weight of the fuel and water to be carried on the driving wheels to improve adhesion. Because the tender was articulated, rather than directly attached to the frame, the locomotive could traverse relatively sharp curves, while still enjoying the advantage of the additional adhesive weight gain. The original design also included an indirect drive from the main driving wheels to the wheels under the tender.

'A Pigmy Locomotive' at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition 'A Lilliputian Locomotive' at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition The Miniature Railway Company obtained the probably smallest locomotive ever made (at the time) for drawing passenger cars from Thomas E. McGarigle of Niagara Falls. This steam locomotive was used from June 1 to November 1 of 1898 at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition in Omaha, Nebraska, and, in all, six locomotives were ordered by the company under one contract.The Railway Age, July 1, 1898. The height of the locomotive from the surface of the rail to the top of the stack was , and the gauge was .
One of his first successful demonstrations was the "Puffing Devil" steam powered locomotive in 1802 whereas a disaster in Greenwich in 1803 almost sealed the fate of locomotive travel, when four men were killed by an explosion of one of Trevithick's engines. This incident was used as a leverage by his rivals to stop the production of the high-pressure steam engines. However, Trevithick's "Penydarren locomotive", marked its place in history by becoming the first full scale working railway steam locomotive. A bet between Trevithick's benefactor Samuel Homfray and Richard Crawshay prompted the key demonstration of the locomotive.

The locomotive was built by the American Locomotive Company in November 1942 for the U.S. War Department. The locomotive is a 0-6-0 "Switching"-type built for Standard gauge track. The intended use of the locomotive was for U.S. military service in the Far East, Africa and Europe, but instead was used for switching operations for military bases within the United States during World War II. After World War II the locomotive was no longer needed by the War Department and was sold to the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway on February 17, 1947. The locomotive was used in freight operations until August 1, 1963 when it was taken out of service when the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway made the change over to diesel locomotives.
A train approaches Rocky Valley Halt For safety, train formations consist of one locomotive pushing a single carriage up the mountain and leading it down again while the locomotive brakes allow a controlled descent. (On opening, the usual practice was to have a locomotive pushing two coaches; this was changed in 1923.) The carriage is not coupled to the locomotive, as gravity keeps the two in contact. The track is always uphill from the lower end to the top end - it is never even near level An electric cable is run between the locomotive and the carriage, which enables a buzzer to be used to signal between the driver and the guard. The cable is designed to pull free if the locomotive and carriage separate.

The Victorian Railways H class was an express passenger steam locomotive operated by the Victorian Railways from 1941 to 1958. Intended to eliminate the use of double heading A2 class locomotives on The Overland services on the steeply graded Western line to Adelaide, wartime restrictions led to only one locomotive being built. Nicknamed Heavy Harry, H220 was the largest locomotive ever built in Australia and the largest non-articulated steam locomotive to run on Australian railways.
Water tower of the locomotive depot coordinates: The locomotive works at the branching of the lines to Berlin and Zossen was built at the beginning of the 20th century during the development of Jüterbog as a railway node. Previously Jüterbog had been only a locomotive shed. Jüterbog was run as an independent service point from around 1909, but it was not until 1924 that it formally became a separate Bahnbetriebswerk (locomotive depot). After 1990, the depot lost its importance.
Locomotive No.37395 at Coonoor Shed, February 2005 The coal-fired Locomotive No. 37395 was modified to oil firing in 2002, and another locomotive was similarly modified shortly afterwards. The railway intends to convert more locomotives to oil-fired system, since they are less likely to spark forest fires and are easier to refuel. Unlike coal-fired engines which require two firemen, only one fireman needs to travel with the driver of an oil-fired locomotive.

G Noch, a prominent local businessman as president.
Locomotive no 330 (ex-SM 242, serial no 1614) received a new RMV holding number 156. However, as early as 1941 the RMW placed that locomotive out of service. Meanwhile, in 1938, the SM had undertaken the same rebuilding work in Divinópolis to locomotive 241 (serial number 1613), and had renumbered it 331. It is possible that this latter rebuild was never completed; in the RMV annual report for 1940, locomotive 331 (ex 241) was recorded as being out of service.
Another indication that the work on locomotive 331 (ex 241) was never completed is the fact that it appears never to have been given a new RMV operating number. It is not even clear which of the two possible new numbers 155 and 157 would have been allocated to that locomotive. By 1944, neither locomotive was still appearing in the RMV locomotive lists. Presumably, they both suffered the fate of most steam locomotives in Brazil in the 1940s and 1950s: demolition.

Gibbons operation in Northland, 1911 0-4-0T locomotive #1 was the first locomotive built by Gibbons & Harris for Robert Pearce Gibbons, a brother of one of the founders, and a well-known Northland contractor and saw mill owner. The locomotive had horizontal cylinders underneath the smokebox and was driven through spur gears to the front axle. The drive was taken to the rear axle by means of a pair of coupling rods.
H.M. Beatty Cape Government Railways (CGR) Chief Locomotive Superintendent Michael Stephens retired in 1895. Shortly after being appointed as his successor in 1896, H.M. Beatty drew up detailed designs for a new passenger locomotive for suburban service in Cape Town. For his first locomotive design as Chief Locomotive Superintendent, Beatty decided on a larger version of the 3rd Class which had been introduced on the CGR in 1889. An order for six of these engines was placed with Neilson and Company in Glasgow.
In 1871 Phoenix completed the locomotive named Governor Weld which was the first steam locomotive to operate in Western Australia. Also in August 1871 the foundry successfully tendered for the first Victorian Government railway locomotive contracts, with the first locomotive being delivered on 27 February 1873, and by 1884 over 350 men were employed. Modernisation of the works was carried out after Shaw visited Britain in 1871 and 1885, with the workshops becoming the most advanced in the southern hemisphere.
Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad 425 is a 4-6-2 light "Pacific" type steam locomotive originally built in 1928 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Gulf, Mobile & Northern Railroad. After the GM&N; was consolidated into the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad in 1940, the locomotive was renumbered #580 and served in passenger service before being retired in 1950. Today, the locomotive is owned and operated by the Reading & Northern Railroad, based out of Port Clinton, Pennsylvania in excursion service.
Built by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL), the Class 11 was designed for goods train service on the Reef by P.A. Hyde, Chief Locomotive Superintendent of the Central South African Railways (CSAR) from 1902 to 1904. One locomotive, CSAR no. 700, was delivered early in 1904 for trial purposes. After successful trials, this locomotive was followed by a further 35 Class 11 locomotives which were delivered later that same year and numbered in the range from 701 to 735.
Loading of the locomotive body onto the cargo ship to India. The locomotive has three individually driven axles, a two-axle bogie at one end and a single axle at the other end of the locomotive. The Winterthur bogie had a pivoting pivot that was centered with springs. The individual running axle was combined with the neighboring driving axle to form a Java bogie, which is why the locomotive had the axle sequence 2’Bo (A1) and not, as often written, 2’Co1.
One of the innovations in Soviet locomotive factories was semi- monocoque construction - the principle of whole body supporting structure (what the US would call a carbody structure). This had previously been used only by the Czechoslovakian CHS1 electric locomotives and the Riga ER1 electric train. The body of the locomotive was based on two three-axle trucks like the TE3 predecessor. With much less weight than the two-unit locomotive TE3, a single TE10 diesel locomotive could successfully replace a pair of TE3s.
Baltimore and Ohio 4500 is a 2-8-2 "USRA Light Mikado" steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July 1918 for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O;) as a member of the Q-3 class. The locomotive hauled freight for the B&O; until retirement in August 1957 and was donated for display at the B&O; Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. It is the sole surviving Baltimore and Ohio Mikado type steam locomotive.
In 1910, the locomotive was transferred to the Rhineland-Palatinate region, assigned to the Ludwigshafen locomotive depot. The locomotive found greater appreciation there, and was affectionately nicknamed the "Zeppelin". It was assigned the same duties as the Bavarian S 2/5 (4-4-2 "Atlantics") and the Palatine P 4, locomotives more its equal in hauling capacity and its lessers in terms of performance. The locomotive returned to Bavaria in 1922, initially assigned to the Munich depot and, from 1923, to Augsburg.
From 1983 through 1984, Mammadov worked as a dispatcher in Azerbaijan Railway Service, in 1984–1987, as the Assistant Director of Human Resources of Bilacari Locomotive Depot, in 1987–1989 as the substitute director at Davachi depot, in 1989–1991 as the Ganja Locomotive Depot Director. From 1991 until 1993, he was the Director of Locomotive Supplies Service at Azerbaijan Railway Service and from 1993 until 1996, he was the Assistant Director for Locomotive Supplies Service at Azerbaijan State Railway Administration.
The moveable collection of steam tram rolling stock at Valley Heights consists of 3 examples of tram rolling stock: one locomotive manufactured in the US and two trailer cars manufactured in Sydney: # Steam Tram Motor 103A: This locomotive was built in 1891 at Baldwin Locomotive Works, USA. It is a 0-4-0 saturated steam locomotive, designed specifically for street use. The motor has been fully restored and is operational. # Trailer Car 93B: This carriage was built in 1891 by Hudson Bros.
No.5551 The Unknown Warrior is a replica LMS Patriot Class steam locomotive which is under construction at the in the Midland Railway – Butterley's West Shed. The locomotive is a replica of the final 'Patriot' class locomotive to be built, 5551. The original locomotive was built in May 1934, and withdrawn in June 1962 (it was scrapped that October). Unlike the original engine, which never received a name, the replica will be named "The Unknown Warrior"; the name was chosen by public poll.
Atlanta and West Point 290 is a steam locomotive built in 1926 by the Lima Locomotive Works (LLW) for the Atlanta and West Point Railroad. The engine is a 4-6-2 heavy "Pacific" type steam locomotive, remarkably similar to Southern Railway's Ps-4 class. With sister locomotive No. 190 built for the Western Railway of Alabama, the 290 pulled the Crescent passenger train from Atlanta, Georgia to Montgomery, Alabama until the engine's retirement from revenue- producing service in 1954.
In 1960, Tweetsie acquired another coal-fired steam locomotive, USATC S118 Class #190, the "Yukon Queen" from Alaska's White Pass and Yukon Route. Also built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1943 for the US Army, the engine was part of an 11-locomotive fleet of "MacArthur" 2-8-2s originally purchased for use overseas. During World War II, the locomotives were sent to Alaska for use on the White Pass and Yukon. Locomotive #190 celebrated its 75th birthday in 2018.
North Eastern Railway stores van, no. 5523, as an interpretation vehicle to travel with the locomotive, had been successful. As part of the joint bid, it was agreed that, once restoration is completed, the locomotive will be based at Kirkby Stephen East and become the project's flagship locomotive. As a result of this, work is currently underway to create a vastly more flexible track layout within the station yard, as well as building a new restoration shed and authentic locomotive watering facilities.
Locomotive number 1 was retired in 1914. Shay locomotive number 6 was purchased to work on an isolated branch line on Three Chop Ridge connected to the remainder of the railway by an inclined tramway. Locomotives 2, 3 and 4 worked on branches out of Camp 1 while Mallet locomotive number 5 pulled trainloads of logs from Camp 1 to the mill at Caspar. On 19 April 1923 locomotive number 5 derailed and wrecked after hitting runaway horses on Digger Creek trestle.
The Indian locomotive class WAG-9 is a class of 25 kV AC electric locomotives that was developed in the 1995 by ABB Group (ABB) for Indian Railways. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), AC Current (A), Goods traffic (G), 9th generation (9) locomotive. They entered service in 1996. A total of 1996 WAG-9 have been built at Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW), with more units being built at Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).
The American Locomotive Company (often shortened to ALCO, ALCo or Alco) was an American manufacturer of locomotives, diesel generators, steel and tanks. The company was formed in 1901 by the merger of Schenectady Locomotive Engine Manufactory of Schenectady, New York, with seven smaller locomotive manufacturers. The American Locomotive Automobile Company subsidiary designed and manufactured automobiles under the Alco brand from 1905 to 1913 and produced nuclear energy from 1954 to 1962. The company changed its name to Alco Products, Incorporated in 1955.
A tender or coal-car is a special rail vehicle hauled by a steam locomotive containing its fuel (wood, coal, or oil) and water. Steam locomotives consume large quantities of water compared to the quantity of fuel, so their tenders are necessary to keep them running over long distances. A locomotive that pulls a tender is called a tender locomotive. Locomotives that do not have tenders and carry all their fuel and water on board the locomotive itself are called tank locomotives.
Due to the many tunnels on the new railway line from Würzburg to Hanover, special rescue vehicles were needed. The Bundesbahn developed the Tunnel Emergency Train (Tunnelhilfszug or TuHi) as an external rescue system. In May 1988 the first TuHi went into service at Fulda. Diesel engine 212 244-8 was used as Locomotive 1 and 212 257-0 as Locomotive 2. The Würzburg TuHi followed in August 1988 using 212 236-4 as Locomotive 1 and 212 352-9 as Locomotive 2.
The locomotive was refurbished and was shipped to Australia for Coote Industrial Company. After strip down inspection and maintenance, the locomotive was put back on revenue service. Around 2015 this locomotive (numbered U201) was acquired by Transperth Trains - the commuter rail operator in Perth, Western Australia - whose fleet otherwise consists solely of electric multiple units. U201 replaced Transperth's earlier diesel shunter, a Westrail MA-class locomotive, which was in turn acquired by Hotham Valley Railway, a tourist heritage railway operating south of Perth.
Track signal is unidirectional and communication from a locomotive back to the system central unit is not possible directly. The system allows an indirect connection, however, to report the locomotive decoder ID number back to the central unit (transponding). Transponder functions require a transponding compatible Selectrix locomotive decoder and track occupancy detector, which in addition to the track block occupancy information, reports also the ID of the locomotive(s), found in the monitored track block, back to the SX bus.
The original DeWitt Clinton was a 0-4-0 locomotive which measured 12 feet 10 inches in length and weighed 6,758 pounds, while its 1893 replica was heavier at a weight of 9,420 pounds. The locomotive had a design very similar to future locomotive designs with a horizontal boiler and a smokestack at the front. The top of the smokestack rested at about 12 feet off the ground. The locomotive also had an early flatbed tender to store its fuel.
A DCC decoder installed in an steam locomotive The great advantage of digital control is the individual control of locomotives wherever they are on the layout. With analog control, operating more than one locomotive independently requires the track to be wired into separate "blocks" each having switches to select the controller. Using digital control, locomotives may be controlled wherever they are located. Digital locomotive decoders often include "inertia" simulation, where the locomotive will gradually increase or decrease speeds in a realistic manner.
In England, Oliver Bulleid developed the SR Leader class locomotive during the nationalisation process in the late 1940s. The locomotive was heavily tested but several design faults (such as coal firing and sleeve valves) meant that this locomotive and the other part-built locomotives were scrapped. The cab-forward design was taken by Bulleid to Ireland, where he moved after nationalisation, where he developed the "turfburner". This locomotive was more successful, but was scrapped due to the dieselisation of the Irish railways.
The Indian locomotive class WDG-3A is a class of diesel-electric locomotive that was developed in 1994 by Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW),Varanasi for Indian Railways. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), Diesel (D), Goods traffic (G) engine, 3100 Horsepower (3A) locomotive. They entered service in 18 July, 1995. A total of 1164 WDG-3A units were built between 1994 and 2015 at DLW, Varanasi with a few units being produced by Diesel Loco Modernisation Works (DLMW) and Parel Workshop.
When he took over in 1857, he quickly instigated more substantial locomotive construction at the shop. Through succeeding years, Blood acquired greater principal in the company until he was the majority owner. Under Blood's tenure, Manchester purchased the locomotive manufacturing business of Amoskeag Locomotive Works in 1859, and the fire engine manufacturing business from the same company in 1876. Blood died in 1897 in Manchester, New Hampshire, but Manchester Locomotive Works continued in his absence, building as many as 1,800 locomotives by 1901.
The SR number of the locomotive was 21C159 and its British Railways number was 34059. In 1966, when the locomotive was no longer needed by BR, it was purchased for scrap by Woodham Brothers of Barry, South Wales. For years, it was available for purchase by a preservation society, which was eventually done by the Bluebell Railway, and the locomotive was restored to working order. , the last time the locomotive ran was in 2011, when serious damage to the firebox was discovered.
In October 1892 he became Suburban District Locomotive Superintendent; two years later he was transferred to Ipswich, and in July 1897 he returned to London, as divisional locomotive superintendent. Several more promotions - including Chief of the Running Department, and Assistant Locomotive Superintendent - led to him succeeding his father as Locomotive Superintendent from January 1908. In 1910, Holden was elected a Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He resigned from the GER in October 1912, being replaced by A.J. Hill.

From Malda Town train is hauled by a Malda Town Loco Shed based WDM 3A diesel locomotive until Guwahati and vice versa. From Guwahati train is hauled by a Silliguri Loco Shed based WDP-4 diesel locomotive until Agartala and vice versa. Recently from Sealdah it is being hauled by WAP-4 locomotive of Howrah/MughalSarai shed up to Malda Town.
The South African Railways Class KM 0-6-0+0-6-0 of 1904 was an articulated steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal Colony. In 1904, the Central South African Railways placed a single Kitson-Meyer type articulated steam locomotive in service and designated it Class M. In 1912, when the locomotive was assimilated into the South African Railways, it was renumbered and designated .Espitalier, T.J.; Day, W.A.J. (1945). The Locomotive in South Africa - A Brief History of Railway Development.
All of this demanded a highly skilled and long experienced worker to serve as the Fireman in the cab of the oil or coal fired steam locomotive. But beginning in the late 1920s and continuing to fulfillment in the 1950s- 1960s, an innovation of staggering proportions and impact began to be introduced on American rails. It was the introduction of the diesel-electric locomotive. The diesel-electric locomotive assaulted the primacy of the coal/oil fired steam locomotive from every angle.
Initially the trains were moved by the steam locomotive WP1-805-27, which had previously probably belonged to an industrial railway, according to the unusual number. In or before 1961 the children's railway receive the diesel locomotive TU2-115. The diesel locomotive TU2-037 was acquired in the early 1970s. It had to be overhauled in 1987–1989, and at that time the children's railway got the diesel locomotive TU2-111 from the Qostanai Children's Railway, which is still being used.
Steam locomotive Argentina, designed by Porta - 1969 Livio Dante Porta's experimental meter gauge locomotive Argentina was a 1948 rebuild of a former 4-6-2 into a 4-8-0. The locomotive incorporated a double chimney in addition to other improvements intended to improve steam flow and fuel consumption. Porta's exhaust designs ultimately evolved into the Lempor ejector. The experimental locomotive was a success, and other locomotives would be modified to include Porta's upgrades although not many received double chimneys like Argentina had.
The HXD1 locomotives are based on the Siemens' EuroSprinter derived design of the China Railways DJ1 locomotive. Construction of the locomotives was carried out by Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Company Limited. The locomotive consists of two identical single cab Bo'Bo' units coupled together, the main locomotive body is load bearing, electric traction equipment uses an AC/DC-AC transmission chain, with the traction motors being three phase asynchronous devices. The electrical inverter for traction motor power control is an IGBT type.
Only the chassis of the first locomotive was left. This also resulted in damage to the OHLE equipment, and the second locomotive received significant damage, whilst the rest of the train was intact. The Amtrak locomotive and first car overturned after they collided with ICG GP40 #3029, the force of impact being so great, that the P30CH's engine mounts were torn off and the engine separated from the locomotive. Other damages included ruptured fuel tanks and the crushed cab in the fireman's position.
Each locomotive could haul three coaches at up to on good track, providing a service speed of around . At the end of a run, the arriving locomotive was trapped in the platform by its carriages. A replacement locomotive hauled the train away on the next trip and the released locomotive was then available to head the next incoming train (this is called "slip working"). The train air-braking system, controlled by the driver, was fed from an air reservoir on the locomotive and, as the original locomotives were unable to generate their own compressed air, the reservoirs were recharged at Stockwell Station from an air line maintained at .
The Indian locomotive class WDM-3A is a class of diesel-electric locomotive that was developed in 1993 by Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Varanasi for Indian Railways. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), Diesel (D), Mixed traffic (M) engine, with 3300 horsepower (3A). The WDM-3A is a later classification of earlier WDM-2C. They entered service in 1994. A total of 143+ WDM-3A was built at ALCO and Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Varanasi between 1994 and 2003 with rest of the 1246 units being rebuild from WDM-2 which made them the most numerous class of mainline diesel locomotive until the WDG-4.
Drawing General Arrangement Locomotive No. 1 is the only locomotive designed by James McConnell to have been preserved.Powerhouse Museum collection – Steam Locomotive No. 1 McConnell was the Locomotive Superintendent of the LNWR's Southern Division at Wolverton railway works and the Sydney Railway Company's Consulting Engineer at the time of the railway order. The design of Locomotive No. 1 was a 0-4-2 modification of the 'Wolverton Express Goods' 0-6-0 introduced on the LNWR in 1854. James McConnell appointed William Scott to supervise the construction of the first engines at Stephenson's Newcastle Works who then proceeded to Sydney to organise their erection.
The OC class, built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Wellington and Manawatu Railway (WMR) in New Zealand, consists of a solitary steam locomotive. Ordered in 1896 as an externally similar but more powerful version of the OA class locomotive ordered in 1894, it entered service in June 1897 as No. 16. It was a Vauclain compound locomotive. In 1908, the WMR and its locomotive fleet was purchased by the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) and incorporated into the national rail network, and although No. 16 bore a likeness to members of the O class, it was sufficiently different that it warranted separate classification.
CGR Fairlie no. E34, c. 1878 In 1876, the Cape Government Railways (CGR) placed a single experimental Double Fairlie side-tank locomotive in service on the Cape Eastern system, working out of East London. Built by Avonside Engine Company, it was the first articulated locomotive to enter service in South Africa and also the first locomotive to be equipped with Walschaerts valve gear. After some shortcomings were brought to the attention of the locomotive builders, a second Double Fairlie which incorporated these improvements was delivered and placed in service in 1878.Abbott, Rowland A.S. (1970). The Fairlie Locomotive, (1st ed.). South Devon House, Newton Abbot, Devon: David & Charles, Newton Abbot. pp.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, ' represents the wheel arrangement with no leading wheels, four powered and coupled driving wheels on two axles and two trailing wheels on one axle. While the first locomotives of this wheel arrangement were tender engines, the configuration was later often used for tank engines, which is noted by adding letter suffixes to the configuration, such as for a conventional side-tank locomotive, for a saddle-tank locomotive, for a well-tank locomotive and for a rack-equipped tank locomotive. The arrangement is sometimes known as Olomana' after a Hawaiian 0-4-2 locomotive of 1883.
When the Great War broke out in August 1914 the French lost most of their locomotive building capacity in the Northern France to German occupied area. Therefore, the French Army demanded fast replacement of the locomotive building capacity for their useful 2′C n2t type which had proved to be a reliable locomotive type for the lightly laid military railways. Three steam locomotive type drawings were sent to Baldwin Works (finance guaranteed by the French Government) for production of C n2t, 2′C n2t, and light Mallet B′B n4v for gauge lines. With the usual American liberty, Baldwin Drawing Office produced their "version Americaine" of these locomotive types.
DF 1301, the first locomotive built, was placed on static display at Sim Pacific Metals Limited in Auckland, replacing K 900. As part of this it was renumbered to its original number of 1501, but with V-shaped nose stripes in place of the original wing-shaped ones. Initially displayed in the open, a limited shelter was built over the locomotive at a later date although this did not halt the progressive deterioration of the locomotive. In 2007, the locomotive was purchased by the Federation of Rail Organisations of New Zealand who concluded an agreement with the Diesel Traction Group to have the locomotive moved to their premises for restoration.
Restored Neilson 0-6-0 Finnish Steam Locomotive Class C1, used in Finland from 1869 well into the 1920s, preserved at the Finnish Railway Museum Neilson & Co worksplate, on the same locomotive The cab interior, on the same locomotive Neilson and Company was a locomotive manufacturer in Glasgow, Scotland. The company was started in 1836 at McAlpine Street by Walter Neilson and James Mitchell to manufacture marine and stationary engines. In 1837 the firm moved to Hyde Park Street and was known as Kerr, Mitchell and Neilson and, in 1840, Kerr, Neilson and Company, becoming Neilson and Mitchell in 1843. Locomotive building began in 1843 for the local railways.
In the United States and Europe, the wheel arrangement was principally used on tender locomotives. This type of locomotive was widely built in the United States from the early 1860s to the 1920s. Although examples were built as early as 1852–53 by two Philadelphia manufacturers, Baldwin Locomotive Works and Norris Locomotive Works, these first examples had their leading axles mounted directly and rigidly on the frame of the locomotive rather than on a separate truck or bogie. On these early 2-6-0 locomotives, the leading axle was merely used to distribute the weight of the locomotive over a larger number of wheels.
Blackie, the first locomotive in South Africa, later rebuilt to 0-4-2T In September 1859 Messrs. E. & J. Pickering, contractors to the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company for the construction of the Cape Town-Wellington railway line, imported a small broad gauge 0-4-0 side-tank steam locomotive from England for use during the construction of the railway. This was the first locomotive in South Africa. In 1874 the locomotive was rebuilt to a 0-4-2T configuration before it was shipped to Port Alfred, where it served as construction locomotive on the banks of the Kowie river and was nicknamed Blackie.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway No. 1308 is an articulated 2-6-6-2 "Mallet" type steam locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1949. It was the next to the last Class 1 mainline locomotive built by Baldwin, closing out more than 100 years of production, a total of more than 70,000 locomotives. The last locomotive, its sister, No. 1309, is being restored to operation at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad in Cumberland, Maryland. While 1308 is a very modern locomotive, with roller bearings, mechanical lubricators, stoker, and superheater, it was the last of a series of 2-6-6-2s that the C&O; began in 1911.
DRG Class 01 locomotive fitted with Wagner-type smoke deflectors—the large vertical plates attached to both sides of the front (right) of the locomotive DRG Class 45 locomotive fitted with smaller Witte-type smoke deflectors Smoke deflectors, sometimes called "blinkers" in the UK because of their strong resemblance to the blinkers used on horses, and "elephant ears" in US railway slang, are vertical plates attached to each side of the smokebox at the front of a steam locomotive. They are designed to lift smoke away from the locomotive at speed so that the driver has better visibility. On the South Australian Railways they are called "valances".
The Cape Government Railways Fairlie of 1876 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1876, the Cape Government Railways placed a single experimental Double Fairlie side-tank locomotive in service on the Cape Eastern system, working out of East London. It was the first articulated locomotive to enter service in South Africa and also the first locomotive in South Africa to be equipped with Walschaerts valve gear. After some shortcomings were brought to the attention of the locomotive builders, a second Double Fairlie which incorporated most of these improvements was delivered and placed in service in 1878.
With three exceptions, the CGR's 4th Class of 1880 and its Stephenson and Joy valve gear versions of 1882 which had been designed by Western System Locomotive Superintendent Michael Stephens, detailed locomotive designing had hitherto been done by the manufacturers, working on no more than the CGR locomotive department's description of their main requirements. It gradually became apparent, however, that accepted European practices in locomotive design were not suited to South African conditions, since it was found that boilers had difficulty to maintain steam pressure when using anything but the best imported Welsh coal, firebox water spaces were too limited and the tubes were frequently pitched too close. Beginning with the pioneering work done by Tilney, locomotive mechanical engineers of the CGR began to exert greater influence on locomotive designs.Espitalier, T.J.; Day, W.A.J. (1943).
In effect, each ore train was made up of three separate 114-wagon trains consisted together with the locomotives of all three trains being controlled by means of a Locotrol radio distributed power control system by one crew in the leading electric locomotive. A typical train would therefore be made up of locomotive set A, 114 wagons, locomotive set B, 114 wagons, locomotive set C, and 114 wagons.Locotrol Distributed Power Some problems were experienced using this configuration and after a couple of major derailments, the locomotive configuration was changed to four sets, with locomotive set D initially made up of two Class 34 diesel-electric locomotives at the rear end of the train, pushing at between 40% and 50% of tractive power at all times, depending on the grades being traversed.
In 1903, English locomotive builders Kitson and Company proposed that the Cape Government Railways (CGR), the Beira and Mashonaland Railway (B&MR;) and the Central South African Railways (CSAR) try their new Kitson-Meyer articulated steam locomotive. Since the severe gradients and curves on the mainline out of East London had been a major challenge to locomotive power ever since the line was constructed, Cape Government Railways (CGR) Locomotive Super­intendent H.M. Beatty made use of the opportunity to experiment with this locomotive, of which the full weight of the engine would be available for adhesion. One locomotive was delivered to the CGR in 1903 and numbered 800. Two more of these locomotives went to the B&MR; in that same year, numbered 51 and 52, and one to the CSAR in 1904, numbered 1000.
128 001, as registered at Deutsche Bahn, or 12X, as named by its manufacturer AEG Schienenfahrzeuge and its successive owners ADtranz and Bombardier Transportation, is an experimental high-performance electric locomotive built in 1994, which was operated as testbed and test locomotive until 2010. The design of the locomotive featured several technological innovations, including power electronics using new types of semiconductors and water cooling, a new final drive concept, a new bogie concept, and protruding windflaps for improved aerodynamics that gave the locomotive a unique look. The development of the locomotive was initiated in anticipation of a major tender for universal locomotives by German railways, but moved towards a modular design when the railways moved towards tendering different types of locomotives for different services. The 12X was the basis of a locomotive class for medium- weight freight trains, the DBAG Class 145, the further development of which ultimately led to Bombardier's TRAXX modular locomotive product platform.
Steam locomotive no. 46224 at Open-Air Steam Locomotive Museum in Ankara The Turkish Republic Railways (TCDD) 46201 Class is a class of ex-USATC Lend-Lease S200 Class 2-8-2 steam locomotives.

Currently services to Waitoa consist of unscheduled shunts to Morrinsville carrying dairy products, usually powered by a DSJ class shunting locomotive, or by a DC class mainline locomotive when higher tonnages are being moved.
The demolition of the locomotive depot and the border station began in May 2012 to create space for a solar farm. The former locomotive shed and the water tower are also to be demolished.
On 7 May 1842, a steam locomotive ran away from its train without a driver whilst briefly decoupled at Yatton. The locomotive eventually came to a stop when it ran out of fuel approaching .
Station porters could move a locomotive sideways by disconnecting the section of track on which the locomotive was standing and slide it onto the adjacent headshunt track, allowing the engine to perform a turnaround.
The SNCF 232.Q.1 was an experimental prototype steam locomotive of the Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) which entered service in 1940. It was Baltic or 4-6-4 locomotive.
Currently in 2014 the locomotive sits partially disassembled in Taylorville, Illinois as ASR raises the funds to move the 1352 to Cleveland Ohio to be restored. As of 2016, the locomotive remained in Taylorville.
The locomotive fleet consisted of 8 2-6-2T steam locomotives manufactured by the firm Beyer Peacock of Manchester between 1890 and 1891. Each locomotive was named after a station served by the railway.

Nameplate and plaque of 21C151 / 34051 21C151 was officially named Winston Churchill in a ceremony at Waterloo railway station on 11 September 1947. The former prime minister, by then Leader of the Opposition, was offered the chance to name the locomotive, but turned it down, claiming a prior engagement. The locomotive was named by Lord Dowding, who also named his own eponymous locomotive at the same ceremony. Churchill became the only person to decline the opportunity to name a Battle of Britain class locomotive after himself.
This locomotive was never completely fitted out. In 1933, a FS 2-6-2 Class 685 locomotive was the object of a curious experiment, in which the piston engine was removed and a turbine fitted in its place, leaving the locomotive otherwise completely unchanged. Tests run were however a failure, as its performance proved to be well below that of a normal 685; the turbine soon broke up, and that signalled the end of the attempt. In 1936 the locomotive was refitted with a normal piston engine.
This engine returned to service in May 2013 after an overhaul. Plans for a second cosmetic makeover are possibly being taken into consideration due to new discoveries of Union Pacific's 119 and its paint. 1890 steam locomotive "Riva", CFR no. 395-104 Riva, number 104, is the zoo's second steam locomotive, acquired in 1974. It is a 0-6-2 tank locomotive, meaning that it carries its fuel oil and water in tanks on the locomotive rather than in a separate tender, as does the 119.
Today, the Sierra No. 3 locomotive is still operational and can be found at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. A full-sized locomotive replica was used for studio scenes in and around the locomotive cab. The prop locomotive was provided by the Hoyt Hotel in Portland, Oregon. It was displayed in the lobby of the hotel as part of the décor of its Barbary Coast Lounge, hence the screen credit at the end of each episode "Train furnished by Barbary Coast, Hoyt Hotel, Portland, Oregon".
VR Class Tk3 steam locomotive in the town of Kokkola in Central Ostrobothnia, Finland A steam locomotive is a locomotive whose primary power source is a steam engine. The most common form of steam locomotive also contains a boiler to generate the steam used by the engine. The water in the boiler is heated by burning combustible material – usually coal, wood, or oil – to produce steam. The steam moves reciprocating pistons which are connected to the locomotive's main wheels, known as the "driving wheels".
The front locomotive continued over the warped track, the tender was derailed and the locomotive broke loose from the second locomotive and the carriages. The second locomotive ran off the track in a gentle curve, and the rest of the train (except for the last carriage, which stayed on the track) overturned. 15 people died in the accident, including the journalist Peter Sabroe; 14 of them were in the three six-wheelers, which were completely crushed in the derailment. About 80 people were injured.
One of the more lasting, although obscure, legacies of this locomotive was due to its name. This locomotive first appeared in 1954, during the construction of DP1, the prototype Class 55 Deltic. DP1 already had the internal project name Enterprise and it had been intended to name the locomotive similarly on its delivery. To avoid confusion with the Hudswell Clarke, and association of this prestige project with such a small and minor locomotive, DP1 instead acquired the name DELTIC, after its Deltic prime mover.
A normal locomotive would experience too much rolling resistance in the many curves on this line, which were typical tramway curves of small radius. A normal locomotive would cause considerable wear on the line. A Garratt type locomotive had several other advantages as well: a short and wide boiler is possible, the center of gravity is low, and moveable parts are readily accessible. In exception to the general type, this Garratt locomotive had internal cylinders, and is more in line with other tramway locomotives in The Netherlands.
The locomotive was powered by a Maschinenfabrik Augsburg- Nürnberg (MAN) eight-cylinder diesel engine prime mover. An AEG main generator and an AEG auxiliary generator were mounted directly in line between the engine and the cab. The engine was water-cooled with a fan that was belt- driven by the engine and that drew air through a conventional radiator.South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended This three-axle locomotive was essentially half a Class DS locomotive.
Sawyer then joined the American Locomotive Company, where he served as head of research working on both diesel and gas turbine projects from 1930 to 1956. While working for General Electric in 1925, Sawyer helped assemble and delivered the very first diesel locomotive sold in the United States. Award for building and delivering the first diesel locomotive sold in the US – given to R. Tom Sawyer In 1944 Sawyer applied for one of the first gas turbine powered locomotive patents. The patent was granted in 1948.

The 1044 locomotive and two passenger cars fell into a small stream and were damaged. Three people were killed after the accident and another 100 were severely injured.
The community of Dollarville, Michigan, where Dollar once worked as general manager of the logging camp, is named for him. One of the Robert Dollar Lumber Company steam locomotives was restored by the Pacific Locomotive Association, which acquired it in 1999 from the Western Railway Museum, where it had been a long term project. Locomotive No. 3 operates on a regular basis at the Pacific Locomotive Association's Niles Canyon Railway. This is a 2-6-2T (Tank) engine built by the American Locomotive Company in 1927.
Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works was a 19th-century manufacturer of railroad steam locomotives based in Paterson, in Passaic County, New Jersey, in the United States. It built more than six thousand steam locomotives for railroads around the world. Most railroads in 19th-century United States rostered at least one Rogers-built locomotive. The company's most famous product was a locomotive named The General, built in December 1855, which was one of the principals of the Great Locomotive Chase of the American Civil War.
This locomotive was the McNeil for the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad. It took another two years before Rogers received its first order for a complete locomotive. In 1837, the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad ordered two locomotives from Rogers to form the beginning of the railroad's roster. The first of these two locomotives was the Sandusky, which became the first locomotive to cross the Allegheny Mountains (albeit by canal boat and not by rail), and the first locomotive to operate in Ohio.
Cab arrangements vary by builder and operator. Practice in the U.S. has traditionally been for a cab at one end of the locomotive with limited visibility if the locomotive is not operated cab forward. This is not usually a problem as U.S. locomotives are usually operated in pairs, or threes, and arranged so that a cab is at each end of each set. European practice is usually for a cab at each end of the locomotive as trains are usually light enough to operate with one locomotive.
Between 1899 and 1903, the Natal Government Railways (NGR) placed 101 tank locomotives in service. The locomotive was designed by G.W. Reid, the Locomotive Superintendent of the NGR at the end of the nineteenth century, and built in Scotland by Dübs and Company and the newly established North British Locomotive Company. On the NGR, the locomotive type became known as the Reid Tenwheeler and was officially designated Class C.The Railway Report for year ending 31 Dec. 1908, Natal Government Railways, p. 39, par 14.
After the Second World War, the recovering West Germany needed economical assistance. This came, in part, in the form of new locomotive orders placed with the West German locomotive industry, which kept it going in the tough and competitive world markets. Deutsche Bundesbahn Class 65 A new tank locomotive type was designed by Krauss-Maffei and, in 1951, the firm built thirteen locomotives of a new Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) Class 65 1’D2’t-h2 (2-8-4T) locomotive. Five more followed in 1955.
The modernization of track and station security equipment was also connected with an electrification of the station, althrough steam traction continued to take place on the line from Kolín to Havlíčkův Brod. Bratislava express train was driven by a steam locomotive of the 498.1 series, the Brno and Znojmo expresses by steam locomotive series 464.0. Trains to Golčov Jeníkov and Čáslav for the change were hauled by a steam locomotive of the 354.1 series. In the 1970s, train passengers could occasionally meet the prototype locomotive T324.001.

The VR Class Vk11 No 101 locomotive was purchased for testing on a six-mile stretch of track between Vuokatti and Sotkamo, where the use of steam locomotives had proved to be uneconomical due to low traffic. The locomotive was ordered from the Swedish act called Ab Slipmaterial of Sweden, and it was completed in 1930. The locomotive had a six-litre Wisconsin petrol-paraffin internal-combustion engine. In January 1931 the locomotive was delivered to Finland, it initially received the number Mt 101.

There is also a locomotive that has been nicknamed the Taranaki Flyer, AB class no.745. This locomotive, made in 1922 by the North British Locomotive Company, is currently under restoration by the Rimutaka Incline Railway Heritage Trust. It derailed on 16 July 1956 as a result of a washout near Hawera while hauling a freight train from Whanganui to New Plymouth. Both crew survived, but the locomotive was too expensive to recover and was buried in situ, with the repaired railway embankment built directly over it.
In 1986, Czechoslovak locomotive manufacturer ČKD built a prototype hybrid shunting locomotive termed the DA 600. The locomotive was powered a 190-kW diesel engine and four electric motors, with a maximum overall power 360 kW powered from batteries. The batteries were recharged while the diesel engine was running, by regenerative braking or from external electric power. After tests on the Railway test circuit Velim and some minor tweaks, the locomotive was lent to the Olomouc train depot and successfully operated there for ten years.
Today, visitors ride on historic converted log cars (similar to flatcars), pushed along by a powerful geared logging locomotive. Traveling on of standard gauge track laid in 1901 by immigrant workers, the line traverses the steep grades of Back Allegheny Mountain. The railroad owns eight Shay locomotives, one Heisler locomotive, and one Climax locomotive, which is being restored by volunteers of the Mountain State Railroad and Logging Historical Association. The Heisler and the Climax, both made in Pennsylvania, were competition to Shay's geared locomotive design.
H.M. Beatty In the first few years of the twentieth century, H.M. Beatty, Chief Locomotive Superintendent of the Cape Government Railways (CGR), experimented with various forms of compound steam locomotives. One of these engines was delivered by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) in 1907. It was a three-cylinder compound locomotive, based on the second version of the CGR’s Karoo Class. The locomotive was numbered 900, but it was not classified by the CGR and was simply referred to as the Compound Karoo.
Western & Atlantic Railroad #3 General is a 4-4-0 "American" type steam locomotive built in 1855 by the Rogers, Ketchum & Grosvenor in Paterson, New Jersey for the Western & Atlantic Railroad, best known as the engine stolen by Union spies in the Great Locomotive Chase, an attempt to cripple the Confederate rail network during the American Civil War. Today, the locomotive is preserved at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The driving wheels (boxed) on a 4-6-2 locomotive. Traction motor for a German locomotive On a steam locomotive, a driving wheel is a powered wheel which is driven by the locomotive's pistons (or turbine, in the case of a steam turbine locomotive). On a conventional, non-articulated locomotive, the driving wheels are all coupled together with side rods (also known as coupling rods); normally one pair is directly driven by the main rod (or connecting rod) which is connected to the end of the piston rod; power is transmitted to the others through the side rods. On diesel and electric locomotives, the driving wheels may be directly driven by the traction motors.
