	Lima Locomotive Works - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lima Locomotive Works was an American firm that manufactured railroad locomotives from the 1870s through the 1950s.
		Lima's last steam locomotive was Nickel Plate No. 779, a 2-8-4 "Berkshire", which left the erecting halls in 1949.
		Though Lima and Baldwin had been known for high-quality steam locomotives, their line of diesel-electric locomotives was unable to compete with the likes of EMD, Alco, and GE.

	Lima Locomotive Works
		The Lima Locomotive Works played a large part in Lima's history and is remembered fondly by many of her citizens.
		The period of high profits and expansion did not last for the Lima Locomotive Works, in 1912 when the loco plant was in need of cash for expansion projects many of the side ventures begun before had to be sold off to help pay for improvements.
		While locomotives are no longer made in Lima fans of steam locomotives and those who remember the days when steam power allowed this country to function will remember the Lima Locomotive Works and what was accomplished there.

		Lima began making steam power for Class 1 railroads in 1911, so only a handful of locomotives on the CNR were from Lima.
		The Grant Locomotive Works formed in 1867 from the New Jersey Locomotive Company, and was yet another locomotive builder from Paterson NJ (The others being Rogers and Cooke).

	Berkshires (and Kanawhas)
		The introduction of the 2-8-4 wheel arrangement by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1925 is generally accepted as the commencement of the "Super Power" era of the North American steam locomotive.
		Lima was the first to realize that the requirement for larger grate areas would require the use of four wheel trucks, as trailing axle loads on some Mikados and Santa Fe's were approaching, and in some cases exceeding 60,000 pounds.
		Given the fact that, by the 1930s, large steam locomotives were constantly running into weight and clearance restrictions, the amount of variety which h a designer could put into a design of a given wheel arrangement was highly limited, one can accept or reject the imitation of the Van Sweringen pattern argument as one pleases.

		Meanwhile, the Lima Locomotive Works was developing a reputation for manufacture of exceptionally powerful main line steam motive power equipped with the latest improvements such as high-pressure boilers, feedwater heaters, and other mechanical innovations that led to their being called "superpower" steam locomotives.
		As originally delivered, the locomotive had a metal shroud concealing her sand and steam domes and had smoke deflectors alongside the smokebox (some varieties of which were colloquially referred to as "elephant ears"), and a single, deck-mounted air pump on the pilot deck.
		The railroad promised to paint the names on the sides of the locomotive and to attach to the locomotive a plate with the name of the boy or girl who suggested the name, as well as the name of his or her school.

	Steam Locomotive Builders
		American Locomotive Company (ALCO) was formed in 1901 when seven smaller locomotive builders merged with the Schenectady Locomotive Works (Schenectady, NY) in order to compete against the largest locomotive builder of the day, the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
		The American Locomotive Company was known for its steam locomotives of which the 4-6-4 Hudsons and the 4-8-4 Niagras built for the New York Central and the 4-6-6-4 Challengers and the 4-8-8-4 Big Boys it built for the Union Pacific were its finiest examples.
		William Woodard of Lima Locomotive Works experimented in increasing the grate area to greatly increase the steaming ability of the locomotive.

		The same sometimes happens in Lima, which retains an ongoing love affair with the steam engines that were turned out for 70 years at the Lima Locomotive Works.

	#137 Texas & Pacific #610 Lima Superpower Steam Locomotive (1927) - Landmarks
		The Texas and Pacific 610 is the sole surviving example of the earliest form of the super-power steam locomotives built by the Lima Locomotive Works from 1925 to 1949.
		The super-power locomotives were the first to combine a high-capacity boiler with a modern valve gear and a four-wheel trailing truck.
		The performance of these locomotives was unprecedented, and they were the prototype for the modern American steam locomotive through the end of the steam age for rail.

		Firing a large steam locomotive is an art requiring constant attention to the engine's performance, understanding of the use of a variety of types of equipment, and — as the course stresses — close cooperation between the fireman and the engineer.
		The proper term is "pilot," but the fixture on the front end of a steam locomotive was often known as the "cowcatcher," a throwback to the days of early locomotives.
		Normally, locomotives destined for scrapping had their valve gear disconnected from the eccentric crank, allowing them to be towed with less cylinder resistance.

		The Lima Locomotive Works was the youngest of the three major locomotive builders, but during the 1920s it developed some of the most sophisticated locomotives built during the steam era.
		Lima built the first 2-8-4 Berkshire in 1925, designated as the A-1.
		These locomotives featured larger fireboxes and grates, throttles located up front in the smokebox, boosters for more starting tractive effort, hollow axles to save weight, superheated steam for auxillaries, lighter rods to cut down on dynamic augment and stack exhaust for the booster engine to improve the draft at lower speeds.

		The first of the three locomotives was a Shay, but as far as is known this was the only one of its kind.
