	EPA: Federal Register: Emission Standards for Locomotives and Locomotive Engines
		The definition of ``new locomotive'' and ``new locomotive engine'' is consistent with, but not identical to, the definition of ``new nonroad engine'' and ``new nonroad vehicle'' that EPA promulgated on July 20, 1994 (59 FR 36969), and revised on October 24, 1996 (61 FR 52102).
		Engines used to repower existing locomotives under this provision will generally be subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 89 and will therefore not be subject to in- use [[Page 18984]] testing, or certification requirements if rebuilt to their original configuration, or a different configuration certified according to 40 CFR Part 89.
		For all tiers, the conceptual definition of engine family is ``a group of locomotives that are expected to have similar emission characteristics for their useful lives.'' The regulations also contain specifications for certain locomotive engine parameters that determine whether various locomotives should be grouped into the same engine family.

		This is the Ingersoll-Rand 300 HP Oil-Electric Locomotive Engine.
		The section of the Ingersoll-Rand engine shown at left is simply referred to as the "housing." It is the main strength member of the bottom of the engine.
		The Ingersoll-Rand engine, then, has two main strength members (the heads and the housing) unlike the vast majority of others in which either the base or the cylinder block is considered the main strength member.

	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 locomotives vary in the form of transmission used to convey the power from a diesel engine (or engines) to the wheels, the primary types being mechanical, electric, and hydraulics.
		A gas turbine-electric locomotive, or GTEL, is a locomotive that uses a gas turbine to drive an electric generator or alternator.

	Argonne Transportation - Locomotive Diesel Engine Research
		Locomotive engine manufacturers face a unique challenge: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will eventually require both old and new locomotive engines to meet new emissions regulations.
		In addition to this research engine, a second experimental engine: a two-stroke single cylinder version of EMD's "710" engine family, has been in operation since the spring of 2002.
		From the experimental studies conducted on the "H" engine, Argonne and EMD have been able to identify performance-enhancing improvements to the engine lubrication system, fuel system, and combustion system.

	40 CFR PART 92 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Engine family means a group of locomotive or locomotive engine configurations which are expected to have similar emission characteristics throughout the useful lives of the locomotives and engines (see §92.204), and which are (or were) covered (or requested to be covered) by a specific certificate of conformity.
		Replacing a locomotive engine with a freshly manufactured locomotive engine in a locomotive that has a refurbished or reconditioned chassis such that less than 25 of the parts of the locomotive were previously used (as weighted by dollar value) is not repowering.
		(ii) New locomotives and locomotive engines that are manufactured and remanufactured by a manufacturer that complies with the requirements of paragraph (a)(5)(i) of this section, and that are not similar to the locomotive models identified in paragraph (a)(5)(i) of this section, are exempt from the requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2)(i) of this section.

	Animated Engines, Steam Locomotive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In a steam engine, the boiler (fueled by wood, oil, or coal) continuously boils water in an enclosed chamber creating high-pressure steam.
		The steam engine has a 'dead' spot at the extreme end of each stroke while the valve is transitioning from power to exhaust.
		For this reason, most engines had a cylinder on each side of the engine, arranged 90 degrees out of phase, so the engine could start from any position.

	Builders_1
		Kitson steam-tram locomotives were regarded as the pre-eminent British engines in their field over the final two decades of the nineteenth century before the electric tram chased steam off the streets.
		Locomotive porduction increased again during World War II, and the company was recognized for its service to the country in 1942, but soon after the end of the war, demand for steam locomotives dwindled, and H. Porter became primarily a holding company for the many subsidiaries Evans had acquired.
		Engineers were invited to build and submit their locomotives to a test and of the three finalists; Stephenson's "Rocket" emerged as the winner.

	Diesel-electric locomotive engines & how they work (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A steam locomotive burns coal or oil, converting water into steam, and then uses the steam to drive pistons, which are connected by drive rods to the wheels.
		A straight electric locomotive, on the other hand, uses electricity provided by an overhead wire or "3rd rail" next to the tracks, to power electric motors (known as "traction motors") that are geared directly to its wheels.
		One of the main advantages of this arrangement is that, since the engine is not directly attached to the wheels, starting a heavy train cannot "stall" the engine, as in the case of the torque-converter locomotive.

	Locomotives - OTAQ - EPA
		Locomotive engines are significant contributors to air pollution in many of our nation's cities and ports.
		Although locomotive engines being produced today must meet relatively modest emission requirements set in 1997, they continue to emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter (PM), both of which contribute to serious public health problems.
		At the same time, in a separate action, EPA announced its intent to propose more stringent locomotive engine emission standards that are modeled after the Clean Air Nonroad Diesel Engines Program.

	Steamlocomotive dot Com
		Surviving Steam Locomotive Database would be a good place to begin your search.
		Like many subjects, with steam locomotives, there are certain questions that get asked over and over again.
		One really common question is "How does a steam locomotive work?" I have tried to collect many of these questions and provide answers in the Steam Locomotive dot Com FAQ.
