A steam locomotive that has a tender cannot function without it, but (with rare exceptions) the tender does not contribute to traction. To establish the "largest" category, several factors take precedence: overall weight, which gives traction over driving axles; size (length and height of engine itself); and power, which may be in terms of raw ...
A steam locomotive is a locomotive that provides the force to move itself and other vehicles by means of the expansion of steam. [1]: 80 It is fuelled by burning combustible material (usually coal, oil or, rarely, wood) to heat water in the locomotive's boiler to the point where it becomes gaseous and its volume increases 1,700 times.
This was originally steam-operated by a small piston and cylinder. Compared to some other experimental steam locomotives of the era, such as the LNER's W1, Turbomotive was relatively successful, showing a saving of coal compared to a normal reciprocating engine and no hammer blow on the track. Because steam turbines are highly inefficient when ...
Riddles had frequently argued the case for the inclusion of a Standard Class 8 Pacific in the standard range of locomotives being introduced by British Railways. However, those proposals were rejected by the Railway Executive on the grounds that attempting to develop a new form of steam motive power was unnecessary because there were enough Standard Class 7 Britannia locomotives already ...

Union Pacific 4466 is an S-6 class 0-6-0 "Switcher" type steam locomotive, built in October 1920 by the Lima Locomotive Works for the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) to perform switching chores and transfer runs.
An order for 70 of the new mixed traffic 2-6-0s was placed with the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow. They were the last steam locomotives built to an LNER design, although all were delivered under British Railways auspices. Numbered 62001–62070 they entered service between May 1949 and March 1950.
