	Locomotive
		Locomotive is an open source project released under the Apache license.
		Locomotive is available as a Universal Binary - native to both PowerPC and Intel architectures (It does, however, require Mac OS X 10.3 or later).
		Locomotive uses "Bundles", each of which is a self-contained installation of Ruby, Rails, and all the necessary support software and libraries (as well as many useful optional tools!).

	Locomotive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the locomotive hauled a train of 10 tons of iron and 70 passengers in five wagons over nine miles it was too heavy for the cast iron rails used at the time.
		Diesel trains or locomotives that use this are called diesel-mechanical and began to appear (although limited in power) even before the first world war which saw a number of simplex diesel systems built for the war, a small number of which survive and are still operational today.
		Dual-mode diesel-electric/third-rail locomotives are operated by the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad between non-electrified territory and New York City because of a local law banning diesel-powered locomotives in Manhattan tunnels.

	LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive number 4472 "Flying Scotsman" (originally no. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway at Doncaster Works to a design of Sir Nigel Gresley.
		In 1995 the locomotive was in pieces and was facing an uncertain future at Southall depot in West London due to the enormous cost of restoration and refurbishment necessary to meet the stringent engineering standards required for main line operation today.
		In the story, Flying Scotsman had two tenders, which is a reference to the locomotive's tour of the United States, when a second tender was added to carry extra water.

	locomotive. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The reciprocating steam locomotive is a self-contained power unit consisting essentially of a steam engine and a boiler with fuel and water supplies.
		Steam locomotives are usually classified under the Whyte system, that is, by the number and arrangement of the wheels; for example, an engine classified as 2–6–0 has one pair of wheels under the front truck, three pairs of coupled or driving wheels, and no wheels under the trailing truck.
		Electric railroad locomotives are used chiefly on steep grades and on runs of high traffic density; although highly efficient they are not more widely used because of the cost of electric substations and overhead wires or third rails.

	Baldwin #60,000
		Locomotive 60,000, the subject of the present publication, was designed and built by The Baldwin Loco-motive Works as an experiment to ascertain the gain in efficiency by the use of high pressure steam and high ratios of expansion.
		Locomotive Number 60,000: This illustration shows the general arrangement of the cylinders and steam chests, and also of the two valve motions on the right-hand side, which control the steam distribution to the center and right-hand cylinders respectively.
		Through the courtesy of the Pennsylvania Railroad the locomotive was submitted to an extensive program of tests on their locomotive test plant at Altoona, and it was subsequently given road tests on this line and on a number of other prominent railroads.

	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.

		Gas turbine-electric locomotives are similar to the diesel-electric but use a gas turbine to drive the generator.
		Electric locomotives were introduced on the Baltimore and Ohio RR in 1895, and diesel locomotives—introduced in yard service in 1924—were in general use by 1935.

	Growing With Schenectady - American Locomotive Company (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A "McQueen" locomotive chugged into view and stopped outside a military area where the 134th Regiment from Schenectady was camped on the eve of an important battle.
		Except during the depression years the output of the company climbed steadily to a high of 417 locomotives in 1900, when the average weight of a road locomotive was more than four times that of the original "Lightning." The severest depression fluctuation came in 1894 when only 56 locomotives were built.
		Great advances in the development of the diesel-electric locomotive, important to the present growth of Alco, were made during the period from 1925 to 1931.

		Like most locomotives of her time, the Tiger sported gay colors, ornate scrolls, and brass trimmings that were kept highly polished.
		The world's fastest run by a railroad train was made by the Broadway Limited of the Pennsylvania Railroad on Monday, June 12, 1905, when it ran 127.1 miles an hour between AY tower and Elida, Ohio.
		The Broadway Limited was pulled by coal-burning steam Locomotive 7002, and although many swift runs have been made in recent years by steam, electric and diesel locomotives, none has equalled the 127.1 milean-hour record run established in 1905.

		As with all CP locomotives built until 1870, they were dismantled from their frames, loaded onto a ship, and taken around Cape Horn to San Francisco, California.
		This locomotive also was the prototype for model engines produced by Lionel and other model train makers of that era.
		The need for these locomotives was brought about by a change in top management of the railroad in 1938 coupled with an increase in "bridge traffic" across the railroad.

	UP: Union Pacific Bases First Hybrid Locomotive in California
		The hybrid locomotive has been designated by the California Air Resources Board as an "ultra low-emitting locomotive" because its exhaust emissions are significantly lower than the current Environmental Protection Agency requirements for locomotive emissions.
		Locomotive emissions regulations are currently in their third level or "tier" since inception in 2000, with each level being increasingly stringent in allowable amounts of nitrous oxides and particulate matter in locomotive exhaust.
		The original hybrid test locomotive was nicknamed "Green Goat" for its environmentally symbolic green paint scheme by its builder, Railpower Technologies, of Vancouver, British Columbia.

	Locos in Profile – William Hedley
		A tender was attached to the front (chimney/firebox end) to carry the locomotives essentials for life (water and coal) and from this the fireman could attend the fire.
		The locomotive started out on four flangeless wheels but the usual problem of broken tram-plates caused it to be altered to an eight wheeler.
		The locomotive was lent to the Patent Office Museum, London (the forerunner of the Science Museum) in 1862 and it was only after three years of acrimonious letters that Christopher Blackett agreed to part with it for £40 as he said ‘It could still do useful work’.

	Steam Locomotive Builders
		In fact, all of the locomotive manufacturing (except in Canada) was consolidated in Schectady by 1931 and continued until 1968.
		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.
		In the later days of the steam era, Baldwin was in the forefront of locomotive construction with the many 2-8-2 Mikados it built and its ability to build small quantities of unique designs, such as the Cab Forward 4-8-8-2's it built for the Southern Pacific.
