American English

American English (AmE), sometimes called United States English or U.S. English, is the set of varieties of the English language native to the United States.

See Locomotive frame and American English

Articulated locomotive

An articulated locomotive is a steam locomotive (rarely, an electric locomotive) with one or more engine units that can move independently of the main frame.

See Locomotive frame and Articulated locomotive

A bogie (or truck in North American English) is a chassis or framework that carries a wheelset, attached to a vehicle—a modular subassembly of wheels and axles. Locomotive frame and bogie are locomotive parts.

Bury Bar Frame locomotive

The Bury Bar Frame locomotive was an early type of steam locomotive, developed at the Liverpool works of Edward Bury and Company, later named Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy in 1842.

Cab (locomotive)

The cab, crew compartment or driver's compartment of a locomotive, or a self-propelled rail vehicle, is the part housing the train driver, fireman or secondman (if any), and the controls necessary for the locomotive or self-propelled rail vehicle's operation. Locomotive frame and cab (locomotive) are locomotive parts.

Cab unit

In North American railroad terminology, a cab unit is a railroad locomotive with its own cab and controls.

See Locomotive frame and Cab unit

Chassis

A chassis (plural chassis from French châssis) is the load-bearing framework of a manufactured object, which structurally supports the object in its construction and function.

See Locomotive frame and Chassis

Cowl unit

A cowl unit is a diesel locomotive with full-width, enclosing bodywork, similar in appearance to the cab unit-style of earlier locomotives, such as the EMD F-units of the 1940s and 1950s. The term cowl unit is of North American origin, although similarly-styled locomotives exist elsewhere.

Diesel locomotive

A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the power source is a diesel engine.

See Locomotive frame and Diesel locomotive

Electric locomotive

An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor.

See Locomotive frame and Electric locomotive

Fire-tube boiler

A fire-tube boiler is a type of boiler invented in 1828 by Mark Seguin, in which hot gases pass from a fire through one or more tubes running through a sealed container of water. Locomotive frame and fire-tube boiler are locomotive parts.

See Locomotive frame and Fire-tube boiler

Hood unit

A hood unit, in North American railroad terminology, is a body style for diesel and electric locomotives where the body is less than full-width for most of its length and walkways are on the outside.

See Locomotive frame and Hood unit

Locomotive

A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train.

See Locomotive frame and Locomotive

Mallet locomotive

A Mallet locomotive is a type of compound articulated steam locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837–1919).

See Locomotive frame and Mallet locomotive

Monocoque

Monocoque, also called structural skin, is a structural system in which loads are supported by an object's external skin, in a manner similar to an egg shell.

See Locomotive frame and Monocoque

North America

North America is a continent in the Northern and Western Hemispheres.

Passenger train

A passenger train is a train used to transport people along a railroad line.

See Locomotive frame and Passenger train

Rail transport

Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport using wheeled vehicles running in tracks, which usually consist of two parallel steel rails.

See Locomotive frame and Rail transport

Rigid-framed electric locomotive

Rigid-framed electric locomotives were some of the first generations of electric locomotive design.

See Locomotive frame and Rigid-framed electric locomotive

Steam locomotive

A steam locomotive is a locomotive that provides the force to move itself and other vehicles by means of the expansion of steam.

See Locomotive frame and Steam locomotive

Steam locomotive components

Main components found on a typical steam locomotive include: The diagram, which is not to scale, is a composite of various designs in the late steam era. Locomotive frame and steam locomotive components are locomotive parts.

Steel casting

Steel casting is a specialized form of casting involving various types of steel cast to either final/net or near-net shape.

See Locomotive frame and Steel casting

Switcher locomotive

A switcher locomotive (American English), shunter locomotive (British English), or shifter locomotive (Pennsylvania Railroad terminology) is a locomotive used for maneuvering railway vehicles over short distances.

See Locomotive frame and Switcher locomotive

Underframe

An underframe is a framework of wood or metal carrying the main body structure of a railway vehicle, such as a locomotive, carriage or wagon. Locomotive frame and underframe are locomotive parts.
