	Locomotive Software - CPCWiki
		Founded in February 1983, Locomotive Software was the software house which developed the CPC's BASIC and operating system, and played a pivotal role in other Amstrad home computers of the time.
		Locomotive's association with Amstrad continued with the next range of computers to be launched by the firm - the PCW word-processors.
		Locomotive was invited to pitch to write the software for the PCW16, Amstrad's last 8-bit machine, but declined because they thought the deadline was unachievable.

	Definition of Locomotive BASIC
		Locomotive Basic is a proprietary dialect of the BASIC programming language used only on the Amstrad CPC (where it was built-in on ROM) and the Amstrad PCW (on which it is loaded from disc).
		Unlike the Sinclair Spectrum or Commodore 64 BASIC, Locomotive BASIC didn't rely on the keyboard having command shortcuts or specialized keys for choosing symbols or colors, save for the "?" abbreviation for the PRINT command and a few scarce and undocumented shortcuts, none too practical anyway: it was a 100% type-in language.
		Drawbacks of Locomotive basic included the lack of structured programming (like almost all other common languages of the era, it was line based), and its rather slow speed, especially when plotting graphics.

		A locomotive under the control of the mechanical department is not "available" for service; a locomotive under the control of the operating department is "available" for service and is subject to various measures of efficiency of utilization.
		The time during which a locomotive is broken down while outside a maintenance facility should be allocated to either the minor or major unscheduled repair category according to the time necessary to carry out the repair and not according to the time the locomotive is actually unavailable.
		Locomotives in service are either heading trains (recorded by either passenger or freight service), light running (running alone for repositioning), cold running ("deadheading," or being hauled cold for repositioning in another train), waiting in stations or yards before or after heading trains, or moving between yards and maintenance facilities.

		The original BASIC language was invented in 1964 by John Kemeny (1926–93) and Thomas Kurtz (1928–) at Dartmouth College and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
		BASIC was intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed — that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.
		BASIC also had the advantage that it was fairly well known to the young designers who took an interest in microcomputers at the time as a result of Kemeny and Kurtz's earlier proselyting.

	Locomotive BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Locomotive Basic is a proprietary dialect of the BASIC programming language written by Locomotive Software used only on the Amstrad CPC (where it was built-in on ROM).
		It was the main ancestor of Mallard BASIC, the interpreter for CP/M supplied with the Amstrad PCW and later the Amstrad-designed and built ZX Spectrum +3.
		Unlike Sinclair BASIC or Commodore 64 BASIC, which had various keyboard command shortcuts or specialized keys for choosing symbols or colors, Locomotive BASIC keywords were typed in full and the interpreter parsed, recognized and tokenised them.

	Mallard BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mallard BASIC was a BASIC interpreter for CP/M written by Locomotive Software and supplied with the Amstrad PCW range of small business computers, the ZX Spectrum +3 version of CP/M Plus and the Acorn BBC Micro Z80 Second Processor.
		In the 1980s it was standard industry practice to bundle a BASIC interpreter with microcomputers, even though the PCW was primarily a wordprocessor for business use.
		Though there were existing implementations of BASIC for CP/M, such as Digital Research's CBASIC and the third-party ZBASIC, they followed the earlier 1970s model of compilers, fed source code prepared in a separate text editor.

	Locomotive Training Program
		Stokers used on locomotives are designed to place the coal in the firebox mechanically, a good deal as it would he placed by skillful hand firing.
		Even if a fireman is regularly assigned to a run where the locomotives are stoker fired, he should give thought to the possibility of bringing the train in by hand firing in case of a stoker failure.
		The locomotive must be "drafted" properly, so that, with a proper depth of fire on the grates, a sufficient amount of air will be pulled through the fire, and pulled through evenly, so as not to 'tear" it in some places and let lie dead in others.

	NARS - Training Programs - Locomotive Engineer
		Locomotive Engineers earn their positions after first developing skills in other railroad crafts, such as Conductor or Brakeperson.
		At NARS, Locomotive Engineer students increase their operating skills, learn how to best handle trains under a variety of extreme conditions, and remain current on changing industry requirements and government regulations.
		Whether you're an experienced short line, regional rail or Class-I Locomotive Engineer, or a railroad employee wanting to become a Locomotive Engineer, NARS provides a progressive combination of classroom, laboratory, and multimedia-based training that can't be matched by any other organization in the rail training industry.

		For example, diesel locomotives are operated in multiple unit lash-ups, with a single operating crew, to provide the aggregate power required to move a train on the desired schedule.
		Reciprocating locomotives were limited to steam temperatures of 750 degrees F due to breakdown of cylinder lubricants; turbines were not so limited.
		For a new locomotive to capture a portion of the replacement or growth market, it must result in reduced operating cost and improved performance with respect to modern diesels, and be otherwise acceptable to the railroad industry.

	5AT Advanced Steam Locomotive Basic Performance Calculations
		The largest valve diameter in common use was 14 inches (355.6 mm) on American locomotives with large cylinders, and this figure is used for the 5AT, rounded down to 350 mm on account of the 5AT's much smaller cylinders.
		That the exhaust entrains sufficient combustion air to sustain the combustion rate necessary to match the steam demand throughout the boiler's evaporative range is a cardinal point for good performance from any steam locomotive, and that it does this with the minimum of exhaust steam energy is the key to optimum performance[2].

		They had a built-in BASIC interpreter called "Locomotive BASIC", which was perhaps the most powerful BASIC interpreter of that time for 8-bit computers.
		Locomotive BASIC was the best BASIC interpreter available in 8-bit computers at that time (however, Acorn's BBC BASIC was a close runner-up with its inline assembly capability).
		Locomotive BASIC supported specific commands for all graphics and sound functions, supported redefinable character sets, software interrupts, sophisticated error handling, and much more.

	Shay Geared Steam Locomotives
		The two cylinder engines were manufactured early on in the life span of these locomotives and were usually smaller and less powerful than the three cylinder units.
		This locomotive is still in operation on the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, in Cass, WV.
		Being a timber man who was frustrated by the performance of "rod" locomotives of the day, he created and operated a single cylinder unit to assist with the harvesting of his timber for transport to his lumber mill.

		Stewart Browne went on to develop an engine that was to embody the steam locomotive at its most basic.
