Blake built at least one more locomotive, supplied to the Port Elizabeth Municipality for use on construction of a dam and associated pumping station on the Van Stadens River. These may be the only locomotives that Blake produced.

Until 1904, more were delivered as tenders to five more locomotive types of the CGR, two more 8th Class Mastodon types in 1903 of which one was experimental, the 9th Class 2-8-2 Mikado type in 1903 and two 8th Class Consolidation types in 1903 and 1904.

Ten WD locomotives were transferred from Iran in 1946-47, being purchased by Iraqi State Railways in 1947, and two more locomotive were purchased from Iran in 1948. These became Iraqi Class TD,The Restoration & Archiving Trust: Image no. br670327The Restoration & Archiving Trust: Image no. br670616The Restoration & Archiving Trust: Image no.

ASLEF succeeded in getting more locomotive drivers and firemen to join a trades union, but it has never succeeded in recruiting all drivers or firemen. In 1900, the ASRS wanted amalgamation,Raynes, 1921, p. 124. but ASLEF proposed federation with the drivers and firemen of the ASRS.Raynes, 1921, p. 110.

The first Pacific type locomotives appeared in Formosa (now Taiwan) in 1912 when ALCO-Rogers delivered three locomotives that were derived from the Japanese Government Railways type 8900. They were numbered from 200 to 202. One more locomotive, number 203, was delivered in 1913. They hauled the most important passenger express trains between Taihoku and Takao.

A digital system usually requires a central unit to generate digital address and command signals, most central units also incorporate one or more locomotive controllers and a booster unit to generate the power necessary to run locomotives. Central units also have connections for additional controllers and accessory switch boxes, as well as connections for computer control and interfaces with other digital controllers.

Trains are pushed/pulled by one or more locomotive units. Two or more locomotives coupled in multiple traction are frequently used in freight trains. Railroad cars or rolling stock consist of passenger cars, freight cars, maintenance cars and in America cabooses. Modern passenger trains sometimes are pushed/pulled by a tail and head unit (see top and tail), of which not both need to be motorised or running.

They caused more locomotive failures on any class to which they were fitted than any other system or component of the locomotive, and this was a major incentive to adopt a more reliable method of carriage heating. At this time, lighting was powered by batteries which were charged by a dynamo underneath each carriage when the train was in motion, and buffet cars would use bottled gas for cooking and water heating.

Henschel-Lieferliste (Henschel & Son works list), compiled by Dietmar StresowSouth African Railways & Harbours Photo Journal, Vol. 1, no 8, pp. 1-3, by Les Pivnic SAR Class 20 as experimental condensing locomotive One more locomotive, the Class 20, was designed for branch line work on light rail by A.G. Watson, Chief Mechanical Engineer from 1929 to 1936. Only one locomotive was built by the SAR at its Pretoria Mechanical Shops at Salvokop in 1935.

Baldwin's steam turbine-electric program resulted in one more locomotive for freight service in 1954, which was also not successful in service. US entry into World War II interrupted dieselization. The US Navy gained priority for diesel engines, curtailing their availability for railway use. No production of passenger locomotives was permitted by the War Production Board between September 1942 and February 1945. The petroleum crisis of 1942-43 made coal- fired steam more attractive, especially near the east coast.

Menu selections included such luxurious offerings as caviar, iced consommé, and Porterhouse steak à la Coyote. One more locomotive and crew took the train to Chillicothe where it made its final locomotive change for the last leg into Chicago. Engineer Charles Losee piloted the train for its entire run across Illinois, at an average speed of 60 mph (97 km/h), staying aboard the train during the locomotive change in Chillicothe. The train officially arrived at Dearborn Station at 11:54 am Central Time on July 11.

The steam boiler could be enclosed or left open and was generally open on the articulated units and enclosed on the rigid bodies. Higher maintenance requirements of the engine meant some companies had more locomotive units than carriages. The steam railcar had a driving position at both ends so it could run in either direction without been turned, or for a locomotive to run round its carriages at a terminus. Control from the rear end was normally by a wheel connected to the regulator by a continuous wire in or above the roof space or a rod running under the floor.

Numbered PPR 7 to 9, these were the last locomotives to have been ordered by the PPR before it ceased to exist upon its incorporation into the NZASM, which itself was subsequently incorporated into the IMR. H.M. Beatty One more locomotive in the group which was eventually to become the South African Railways (SAR) Class 7B was part of a batch of Cape 7th Class locomotives which had been built for the Rhodesia Railways (RR) by Neilson, Reid in 1899 and placed in service in Rhodesia in 1900. The original Cape 7th Class had been designed in 1892 by H.M. Beatty, Cape Government Railways (Western System) Locomotive Superintendent. All these locomotives were built to the same design as the 1896 to 1898 batch of 7th Class engines of the Cape Government Railways (CGR) with their increased heating capacity and type ZC bogie-wheeled tenders, which were later to be designated on the SAR.
