	Steam engine - Free net encyclopedia
		Steam engines were used as the prime mover in pumps, locomotives, steam ships and steam tractors, and were essential to the Industrial Revolution.
		Steam turbines, technically a type of steam engine, are still widely used for generating electricity, but older types have been almost entirely replaced by internal combustion engines and electric motors.
		One of the advantages of the steam engine is that any heat source can be used to raise steam in the boiler; but the most common is a fire fueled by wood, coal or oil or the utilisation of the heat energy generated in a nuclear reactor.

	Dreams of Steam
		The steam is routed to the appropriate end of the cylinder by valves actuated by the motion of the piston.
		Steam was fed in under the piston from a separate boiler and was condensed by a jet of cold water which was forced inside the cylinder.
		The pressure of this steam raised a piston fitting in the cylinder, and after it was raised, the source of heat was removed from the bottom of the cylinder.

	The Zoelly Swiss Turbine Locomotive.
		It was a conversion of an elderly 3/4 locomotive of the Federal railways.
		The new locomotive had a 6-stage Swiss Zoelly impulse turbine located transversely in front of the smoke box, a separate 2-stage Curtis turbine being used for reverse.
		The German Krupp-Zoelly Turbine Loco of 1922 was a development of this locomotive, a significant difference being a larger condenser housed in the tender.

		Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 to a projected 499, but do not appear to have gone beyond 362.
		Classification was by wheel arrangement, sub-classification was by weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity etc. The last batches of locos imported were the C1a, B1d and B1e classes in the 1940s.
		For reasons of safety, these locos were steam charged from a steam generation room, did their bit of indoor movements, came back for a "recharge" (like some people !) and went again on movements.

		These locomotives were painted brown, had 4 motors producing 1,810 kw of power through a jackshaft and drive rod system and had a maximum speed of 65 km/h (41 m.p.h.).
		All of the famous German locomotive builders participated in the development and manufacture of the locomotives classified as V60 until 1968.
		The Prussian P 8 designed by Robert Garbe was such a satisfactory locomotive in terms of its output and was such a favorite with engine crews that by 1928 approximately 3800 units were purchased by domestic and foreign railroads.

	Locomotive classification of the Deutsche Bundesbahn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When UIC introduced a new classification system that could be processed by the computers of the late 1960s, DB did a major modification of their system, effective 1 January 1968.
		The number 0 was assigned to steam locomotives, as their end of duty was already foreseeable.
		Steam locomotives that had been converted to oil fuelling received separate class numbers from their coal-fuelled counterparts, e. g.

	Railography : Chinese Steam -QJ Class
		The QJ was the last steam design to go into production, the first the Chinese claimed as their own and the most numerous steam class to run in China.
		Production locomotives were numbered from QJ 101 to QJ 3602 (missing out the numbers taken by prototypes) and from QJ 6001 to QJ 7207.
		The official end of steam on the national railway system was in March 2002 but a handful of QJ remained in use on the remote Wuhai - Jilantai line until the summer of 2003.

	0-10-0 - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotive wheel arrangement, an 0-10-0 is a locomotive with ten driving wheels (five axles) and neither leading nor trailing wheels.
		Several types of freight tender locomotives of this arrangement were built between approximately 1905–1915 after which it was abandoned in favor of the 2-10-0.
		The E class was the largest single class of locomotive in the world with around 15,000 manufactured both in Russia and other countries such as Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland.

	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		Furthermore, the diesel-electric did not need the large quantities of water that steam locomotives required, and thus did not require the maintenance of expensive water tanks, pipelines, and water cranes at intermittent points along its lines, which meant another saving in cost.
		But the diesel-electric locomotive proved so overwhelmingly successful that the mere term "diesel" as applied to a railroad locomotive has come to mean almost automatically a diesel-electric.
		Insofar as regular service was involved, and excepting special cases such as short lines that emphasized steam passenger excursions, narrow gauge lines, or other special cases, America's railroads were essentially dieselized by 1960, and the steam locomotive had nearly vanished from the railroads of the nation.

		A German BR 42 engine signifies that it is a lok meant for heavy-goods consists while a Swiss Ae 8/14 signifies the maximum engine speed and the fact that it is an electric lok with 14 axles of 8 are traction or driving axles.
		For example the locomotives of the series Ae have the numbers from 10201 to 12000, the Be series the numbers from 12001 to 14 000, the Ce series the numbers 14001 to 15000.
		As more and more locomotive types are built with the same basic configuration (today mostly four axles locomotives with a maximum speed over 110km/h) every one would be classified as an Re 4/4 type and separating them from each other becomes increasingly difficult.

	Historical Periods of German Railroading
		Among steam locomotives the most striking feature of this period is the change from the large Wagner smoke deflectors of the prewar period to the smaller Witte designs.
		The diesel hydraulic locomotives blossoms forth for a brief period in the form of the V 200 and other designs until the growth of the electrified rail routes renders them largely superfluous.
		Red for locomotives seems to be the predominant color on the minds of designers, as several railroads adopt it at the same time.

	Richard Leonard's Steam Locomotive Archive - Burlington Route, Colorado & Southern
		As late as 1956 Galesburg, Illinois, was an active center of steam power for the Burlington Route (Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, a component of today's BNSF Railway — formerly Burlington Northern and Santa Fe — system).
		During the days of steam, the Burlington engines seemed to chuff out large clouds of smoke as they passed our house, leaving dirt and grit all over everything, including my mother's washing that she hung on the line in the backyard.
		They tipped the scales at 504,570 pounds locomotive weight, and at 83,300 pounds of tractive effort they were without doubt the Burlington's heaviest and heftiest steam engines.

		At the end of the 50's, increasing loads saw the v200's constantly worked at their maximum output; and during 1960-1962, a more powerful version using 2 X 1350hp engines was developed.
		Weight was also reconsidered, and reductions were brought about by use of a lighter steam-heating boiler, and also a lighter frame.
		Interestingly, Germany experimented no further with dual engined locomotives beyond this class; returning to a policy of more economical single engined vehicles.
