Experiments with turf as a fuel for steam locomotives began in the early days of Irish railways. The first use of turf in a locomotive was on the Midland Great Western Railway in 1848. Further experiments were conducted over the years on the Waterford and Limerick, Great Southern and Western , Belfast and Northern Counties and Listowel and ...

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Hughes Crab or Horwich Mogul is a class of mixed-traffic 2-6-0 steam locomotive built between 1926 and 1932. [2] They are noted for their appearance with large steeply-angled cylinders to accommodate a restricted loading gauge .
A steam locomotive operating at 350 psi (2,400 kPa) would have a temperature of about 220 °C (400 °F), and a specific enthalpy of 960 kJ/kg (440 kJ/lb). [6] Since standard pressure saturated water has a specific enthalpy of just 420 kJ/kg (190 kJ/lb), [ 7 ] the difference between the two specific enthalpies, 540 kJ/kg (240 kJ/lb), is the ...
Two of the 0-6-0 locomotives built in 1906, nos. 898 and 900, were the first British locomotives to be provided with Schmidt superheaters when new, the purpose being to increase the temperature of steam produced in the boiler so the minimum of energy was lost. After months of trials, 20 further locomotives with the Schmidt superheater were ...
The Great Western Railway (GWR) 9400 Class is a class of 0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive, used for shunting and banking duties. The first ten 9400s were the last steam engines built by the GWR. After nationalisation in 1948, another 200 were built by private contractors for British Railways (BR).
New York Central and Hudson River Railroad No. 999 is a 4-4-0 “American” type steam locomotive built for the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1893, which was intended to haul the road's Empire State Express train service. It was built for high speed and is alleged to be the first steam locomotive in the world to travel over 100 ...
The Class C62 (C62形) is a type of 4-6-4 steam locomotive designed by Hideo Shima and built by the Japanese National Railways (JNR). The "C" classification indicates three sets of driving wheels. The C62 was rebuilt with the boilers of older Class D52 2-8-2 locomotives.
