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 Modern Coal Burning Steam Locomotive" (produced about 1944) describes operation and maintenance of the Norfolk and Western Railway steam locomotive fleet as well as construction of the "J" class locomotive for passenger rail service.
In the Cass Scenic Railroad in West Virginia, some Shay Geared Locomotives are still in use in excellent condition. Everyone must be impressed by enjoyable train and scenic beauty.
This is a collection of steam locomotive trains of japan, mainly SL Yamaguchi, an engine model C571 steam locomotive train which runs through the unspoiled countryside between JR Shin-Yamaguchi Sta.(Yamaguchi) and Tsuwano Sta. The C571 is known as the nickname of “The Lady”, and its beautiful black solid iron body impress SL fans. Even if you are not a SL fan, your heart will beat fast when you see it coming as it giving off the steam smoke with the strong whistle. SL yamaguchi is a retro flavored five coach train, and each of them are designed differently. It is recommended to reserve the observation coach when you head to Shimane from Yamaguchi. Another attractive part of this SL train trip is that you can see the SL train turn its direction on the turntable at the Tsuwano Station. Hi...
Starting a locomotive is similar to starting a car, in that you should check the fluids and crank her over. But, that is where the similarities end. Follow the crew of the Coopersville & Marne Railway, as they fire up their venerable SW9, originally built for the Grand Trunk Western. The engineer walks through the process, from throwing the electrical knife switch to cranking over the engine and rolling the engine out of the engine house. SPECIAL THANKS: to the Coopersville & Marne Railway, who graciously allowed access to go behind-the-scenes. Truly appreciated! Consist: - CPMY 7014 [SW9] Location/Time: - CPMY Ry, Coopersville, MI, firing the 7014, on 1-10-15 at 13:45 EST Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to share this video, like and subscribe to Thornapple River Rail Series! L...

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.

No sleep, you're counting those falling
Turn white as a sheet in the face of the rain grown colder
The wild flower waltzing,
The locomotive crawling
But on the wheels where the rust don't stain
Your self-chosen cure is your self chosen pain
No time to ride on the back of a beast such as suicide.
Join me, come meet me
Black lights suit you baby
Too sweet, it's there for the killing
Lie there at your feet, but the face in the mirror has grown older
A bell's distant ringing, the scorṗion stinging
Bells making noise, but your mind don't care
Words screaming in like you ... there
Inside, inside
To the back of a train they call suicide
Join me,
Come meet me, you know the black light suits you baby
Inside, inside
To the back of a train they call suicide
Join me,
Come meet me, you know the black light suits you baby
No time to ride on the back of a beast such as suicide.
Join me, come meet me
