	History of the Locomotive -- Railway Vehicle -- Trains
		push-pull operation, where the locomotives push the trains in one direction, and are controlled from a control cab at the opposite end of the train in the other.
		Aerodynamic passenger locomotives from other countries such as Germany and the United States attained speeds very close to this, and this is generally believed to be close to the practicable upper limit for the direct-coupled steam locomotive.
		Battery locomotives are also used on many underground railways for maintenance operations as they are required to operate in areas where the electricity supply has been temporarily disconnected.

	Fake Builders Plates - Railroadiana Online
		Builders plates are castings or sheet metal plates that are attached to locomotives and other rolling stock to indicate the manufacturer, date of production, manufacturing number, and other information.
		In the steam locomotive era, builders plates were usually made of cast brass or iron.
		Often when a locomotive was scrapped, the builders plate was removed and retained as a memento.

	EPA: Federal Register: Locomotive Crashworthiness
		FRA proposes using the locomotive build date of (a date three years after publication of the final rule) for determining whether the locomotive is subject to the requirements of this proposed rule.
		Section 229.213 Locomotive Manufacturing Information Paragraph (a) of this section requires each railroad operating a railroad subject to this subpart to retain the date upon which the locomotive was manufactured or remanufactured, the name of the manufacturer or remanufacturer, and the design specifications to which the locomotive was manufactured or remanufactured.
		Since it extends the width of the locomotive (unlike collision posts), it is the primary means of protection in the event the locomotive collides with an object at an angle or a load is applied longitudinally outside of the collision posts, such as in a collision with an offset trailer on a flatbed car.
