Class (locomotive) refers to a group of locomotives built to a common design for a single railroad. Often members of a particular class had detail variations between individual examples, and these could lead to subclasses. Sometimes technical alterations (especially rebuilding, superheating, re-engining, etc.) move a locomotive from one class to another. Different railways had different systems, and sometimes one railway (or its successors) used different systems at different times and for different purposes, or applied those classifications inconsistently. Sometimes therefore it is not clear where one class begins and another ends. The result is a classic example of the Lumper splitter problem.
As locomotives became more numerous the need arose to deal with them in groups of similar engines rather than as named or numbered individuals. These groups were named "classes" and at first tended to reflect capability rather than design. For example, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad grouped its roster into four classes before the Civil War, though they had by that point dozens of different designs.
A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train. The word originates from the Latin loco – "from a place", ablative of locus, "place" + Medieval Latin motivus, "causing motion", and is a shortened form of the term locomotive engine, first used in the early 19th century to distinguish between mobile and stationary steam engines.
A locomotive has no payload capacity of its own, and its sole purpose is to move the train along the tracks. In contrast, some trains have self-propelled payload-carrying vehicles. These are not normally considered locomotives, and may be referred to as multiple units, motor coaches or railcars. The use of these self-propelled vehicles is increasingly common for passenger trains, but rare for freight (see CargoSprinter). Vehicles which provide motive power to haul an unpowered train, but are not generally considered locomotives because they have payload space or are rarely detached from their trains, are known as power cars.

The Hunter Region, also commonly known as the Hunter Valley, is a region of New South Wales, Australia, extending from approximately 120 km (75 mi) to 310 km (193 mi) north of Sydney. It contains the Hunter River and its tributaries with highland areas to the north and south. The Hunter Valley is one of the largest river valleys on the NSW coast, and is most commonly known for its wineries and coal industry.
Most of the population of the Hunter Region lives within 25 km (16 mi) of the coast, with 55% of the entire population living in the cities of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. There are numerous other towns and villages scattered across the region in the eleven local government areas that make up the region. At the 2011 census the combined population of the region was 620,530.
The main river in the region is the Hunter River, after which the region is named. Other rivers in the region include the Allyn, Avon, Barrington, Bow, Bowman, Chichester, Gloucester, Goulburn, Isis, Karuah, Krui, Mammy Johnsons, Merriwa, Munmurra, Pages, Paterson, Wangat and Williams rivers.

The South African Class 35-000 and 35-400 series locomotives were designed by General Electric and manufactured in South Africa by Dorman Long Locomotive. The first batch being delivered in 1972 and the last in 1980. Both sub classes belong to the same model GE U15C and furthermore share the same components. The 35 class are rather small locomotives, weighing in at 82 tons and only 15 meters in length, giving the locomotive its very stocky appearance. The saddle hood modification that appears exclusively behind the cab of the 35-000 is one of the few distinguishable differences between the two. The other recognisable difference being the placement and size of cooling vents. On this particular day I setup near Mowers and waited nearly an hour before returning to Worcester only to find the...
This beautiful locomotive was built by John Heald of Rotorua, New Zealand. In this video we take the B-Class out for a typical day at the track, including a sequence of loading the engine onto a custom made trailer towed behind a Honda Jazz (Fit) with CVT. Then it's off to the beautiful River Edge Park Railway in Whakatane, New Zealand. We also take a look at stability of this remarkable locomotive under high speeds using on board cameras. Special adjustable Danly coil springs prevent the locomotive from porpoising; the leaf springs are dummy and just for show. Plans and castings will be made available for this locomotive, if you are interested check out our website at www.sonadaworks.com.

We start at the Number 1 end cab then walk past the locomotive to the number 2 end. The original layout of the B class diesel-electric locomotive design was developed in the USA and was derived from the 1937 design for the E series and the shorter F series locomotives. Built by the Electro Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors (GM) at its La Grange works in Illinois, the E and F units were widely used by many US railroad companies. During the late 1940s and early 1950s, General Motors was one of very few really experienced diesel locomotive builders in the world and the comp...

A tribute to the "Big Boy" locomotives produced by Union Pacific, "Last of the Giants" shows the end of a memorable era in Western Railroading. The "Big Boy" is the popular name of the American Locomotive Company 4000-class 4-8-8-4 articulated, coal-fired, steam locomotives manufactured between 1941 and 1944 and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad until 1959. In "Last of the Giants" you'll see the development of steam power on the Union Pacific from 4-6-0s, 2-8-0s, and 2-8-2s up to 2-10-2s and even 4-12-2s, shown through film, photos and animated diagrams. This is followed by the development of compound articulated Mallets and simple articulateds such as the Challengers. The Big Boy fleet of twenty five locomotives were used primarily in the Wyoming Division to haul freight over th...

When the railways of Britain were nationalised in 1948 to form British railways, the authorities were faced with many different trends in steam locomotive development. Although it was intended to electrify the railways as soon as practicable, it was necessary to replace a large number of older steam locomotives, many of which had been run into the ground during the war. A range of “standard” locomotives was evolved which rapidly gained favour with railway enthusiast. In this programme we see them at work in the 1950’s and 1960’s with the aid of rare archive film and show those which still work today, including the famous “Britania” and “Duke of Gloucester”. Locomotives featured include (as well as many others): 70000 ”BRITANIA” 4-6-2 71000 “DUKE OF GLOUCESTER” 4-6-2 73050 “CITY OF PETERSBO...
The famous named Expresses were the most prestigious trains run by the railway companies, none more famous than the “Cornish Riviera Express” who could fail to be impressed by the magnificent “King” class locomotives that headed the Express. Many of these have been lovingly restored today and still work steam express trains. This collection of VHS shows Express steam locomotives in action, using rare archive footage from the 1950’s and 1960’s together with contemporary material of today. ------------ EXPRESS STEAM LOCOMOTIVES OF THE LONDON NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY: https://youtu.be/E7GmOjjoTps ------------ VHS captured with a brand new VCR: PANASONIC NV-VP30.
