Locomotion No. 1 (originally named Active) is an early steam locomotive that was built in 1825 by the pioneering railway engineers George and Robert Stephenson at their manufacturing firm, Robert Stephenson and Company. It became the first steam locomotive to haul a passenger-carrying train on a public railway, the Stockton and Darlington ...
This locomotive was similar to the C&O T-1, with the same 69 in (1,750 mm) drivers, but with 300 psi (2.1 MPa) boiler pressure and 60% limited cutoff. It proved the viability of the type on the ATSF, but the Great Depression shelved plans to acquire more. In 1938, with the railroad's fortunes improving, ATSF acquired 10 more 2-10-4 locomotives.
The locally built 2-10-0 locomotives were represented by some TE (built from captured German parts), SO (Sergo Ordjonikidze) and L (Lebedyanski)–series locomotives. The L-series locomotives were one of the more advanced steam locomotives built in the former Soviet Union. They used an automatic stoker to feed coal and had a relatively low axle ...
After the end of World War I, the Canadian Pacific Railway began replacing their old wooden passenger cars with “heavyweight” six-axle steel passenger cars. In response to this, the CP's chief mechanical officer, William E. Woodhouse, designed a new class of 4-6-2 “Pacific” type steam locomotive that would be known as the G-3 class.
Canadian National 89 is a 2-6-0 "Mogul" type steam locomotive originally built by the Canadian Locomotive Company in February 1910 for the Canadian National Railway. It is now owned and operated by the Strasburg Rail Road in Strasburg, Pennsylvania , where it resides today for use on excursion trains.
The heaviest 4-8-2 s in the world were twenty-three St. Louis–San Francisco Railway 4400 class locomotives, built by the railroad between 1939 and 1945, using boilers from older 2-10-2 locomotives, riding cast frames, and weighing over 449,000 pounds (204 t). These were a follow-up to the road's 4300 class, similarly rebuilt at the road's ...
Canadian Pacific. 1278 was built by Canadian Locomotive Company in April 1948 and is a type 4-6-2 class G5d light weight "Pacific" locomotive. [2][3] The No. 1278 was one of thirty such G5d locomotives to be built. The No. 1278’s relatively lightweight construction and very sound design made the locomotives the perfect engines for light-rail ...
Factor of adh. Canadian National 6218 is a 4-8-4 U-2-g Confederation built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) in 1942 for the Canadian National Railway. It became famous after it was brought back by CN for their Steam Excursion Program from 1964 to 1971. It is now on static display at the Fort Erie Railway Museum in Fort Erie, Ontario.
