Topic: Motive power depot

	Fort Street Union Depot was Pennsy's Gateway to Detroit
		The Fort Street Union Depot Co. was part of the Union Belt Railroad of Detroit, formed by the Pere Marquette, Wabash, and Pennsylvania railroads.
		Thus, after trains were spotted at the Depot train shed, PM and C&O locomotives would back up from the 21st Street round house over the High Line to their trains.
		The depot was closed May 1, 1971 when the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK) was created by an act of Congress to operate most of the inter-city passenger trains in the United States.

	LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE Running and Management - STEAM AND MOTIVE POWER.
		From this it will be seen that while the generating of steam at atmospheric pressure, which gives no capacity to speak of for doing work, calls for an expenditure of 1137.7 heat-units, raising the steam to the high gauge pressure of 150 pounds takes only 1185.5 heat-units.
		That the steam passed into the cylinders may be used to the best possible advantage, the ordinary practice is to cause the expansive force of the steam to do all the work practicable.
		The driving-wheels were 68 inches diameter, and the engine was running close on forty miles an hour and was developing, with 18 x 24-inch cylinders, sufficient power to haul a train weighing 300 tons at the rate of fifty miles an hour.

	California State Railroad Museum Foundation - River City Depots
		Thus, the lack of a formal depot in Sacramento is entirely plausible in the late 1850s and early 1860s; enclosed passenger stations had begun appearing along America’s existing railroads only a decade or so earlier.
		In the interim, the wood roof of the depot had caught fire several times; although disaster had appeared imminent, the flames were doused before serious damage occurred.
		Known as Arcade Station, this new "through" depot involved a complete reworking of trackage; trains would be able to arrive and depart without the constant need for back-up movements or other switching, as had been the case before this time in the stub-end depot on Front Street.

	REC - Model Railway Layouts
		An internal Motive Power Depot for both displaying models and the realistic turning of locomotives is also included, this is under its own dedicated control.
		The main-line tracks are continuous loops, while the branch is an end-to-end, running from an Umbridge main-line bay platform, round the layout to Umbridge high-level and halfway round the layout again to a dock terminal.
		Umbridge Station is the centre-piece of one side of the layout together with a loco depot, while freight exchange sidings, a tunnel and a dock feature occupy the other side.

	British Railways in Wartime, 1943
		The practical knowledge and experience of train working methods, signalling systems, motive power, and staff, and of the physical conditions of each locality, enable the railway operating staffs to make the best possible use of every piece of rolling stock, section of line, ounce of motive power and staff available.
		Developments in railway signalling, such as the widespread use of electrical, colour light and power installations; scientific shunting at modernised marshalling yards; the welding of rails; and the introduction of labour-saving appliances for all kinds of purposes, were also subjects of close study.
		Electrical power, in addition to sending messages, has been adopted to save time and labour by setting points at considerable distances, and the widespread use of colour light signals has proved of great value in keeping traffic moving in all kinds of weather.

		Although initially the motive power was booked to be a single type M44/4 in fact two were provided in top and tail mode as the run-round loops at the branch termini were in a poor state.
		Running almost quarter of an hour late we left, the branch veers away from the main line shortly after the motive power depot and runs alongside the city sewage works lagoons before reaching the former military airport with associate sidings and storage silos.
		Immediately inside the depot was a steeple locomotive No 25 and working in the shed area a wooden bodied loco No 20, (one for the next visit to Debrecen?).

	Roots of Motive Power - Collection - 1932 Bucyrus-Erie 50-B Steam Shovel - Early History
		As a result of an October 19, 1992 Roots of Motive Power acquisition, future generations of Mendocino County's youth will have a better understanding of the venerable steam shovel Mary Anne, which was happily retired to a new life as the heating plant in the Popperville Town Hall basement.
		The steam shovel joins the outstanding collection of industrial steam machinery on display by Roots of Motive Power at the Mendocino County Museum in Willits.
		Shovel #2 was retired from active service in 1946 but luckily was marked for preservation by the Guy F. Atkinson Company who stored the machine in operable condition at their Long Beach yard before moving it to South San Francisco in 1981.

	Motive Power of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
		It was built by Garrett and Eastwick, of Philadelphia, was of the eight-wheel type, had a peculiar valve motion designed by Andrew M. Eastwick, reversing being done by a block sliding on the valve seats, and it was the first locomotive in Pennsylvania to be provided with a cab for sheltering the engine crew.
		They were very good steamers and powerful engines for their weight, the draw bar between engine and tender being offset so that in starting a heavy train part of the weight of the tender was thrown on the drivers.
		No better power is to be found in the country, and the company may of late years apply to itself the aphorism "happy is the country that has no history."

		To cope with the demands of this traffic a new motive power depot was built adjacent to the station to stable and service both freight and passenger locos.
		Once the shed was opened, many of the trains originating from, or with destinations in the South and West were hauled by GWR locos through to and out from Brinkley, rather than changing locos at Oxford as had previously been the case.
		The depot was also home to the yard shunter and branch line loco working the Stratford and Midland Joint Line which linked up with the main line just South of Brinkley.
