The locomotives were of six-horse power, and went at the rate of five or six miles an hour.
Puffing Billy," in fact, humble as its pretensions were, has proved to have been the type of all locomotives since.
It is absurd to hold out the notion that locomotives can travel twice as fast as stage-coaches," said another; "one might as soon trust himself to a rocket as to the mercy of a machine going at that rate.
In pondering upon the powers of "Puffing Billy," George Stephenson saw that the efficiency of locomotives must, in a great measure, depend on what kind of roads they had to run upon.
On the subject of locomotives his answers were clear.
And yet one of the English commentaries which had made deepest impression on the railroad promoters was that "Locomotives can travel safely in the dark.
Mr. Andy Shepherd in an interview said he remembered the old locomotives Daniel Boone, Logan and Joe Davis.
For through service the locomotive principle of operation has been adhered to, that is, electric locomotives will take up the work of the steam locomotives at the interchange yard at Harrison, N.
These grades would be objectionable with steam locomotives under a heavy traffic, but the development of the electric locomotive has rendered possible the operation of grades which would have formerly been considered prohibitive.
The locomotives and cars form a train with two running axles and four cogwheels engaging the toothed bar.
The pumping station had been started up the previous night, two locomotives sent by the Lake Shore Railroad furnishing the power.
Fires were prohibited and railroad locomotives were ordered to extinguish their fires to avoid any danger of igniting the oil.
Scores of huge freight-wagons are now bunched up in the corrals, having outlived their usefulness since the innovation from mules and "overland ships " to locomotives on the Utah Northern Railway.
No chance to ramble about the platforms (as in London) to watch the Duke of Abercorn or the Lord Claude Hamilton, or other of those green or blue English locomotives with lordly names, being groomed for the run.
The fire bars in locomotiveshave always been a source of trouble, as from the intensity of the heat in the furnace they become so hot as to throw off a scale, and to bend under the weight of the fuel.
The present action of the feed pumps of locomotives is precarious, as, if the valves leak in the slightest degree, the steam or boiling water from the boiler will prevent the pumps from drawing.
The ash box of locomotives is made of plate iron, a quarter thick: it should not be less than 10 in.
Cylinders of locomotives should be large, proper arrangement of.
The early locomotives were made with very little lead, and the proportions were in fact very much the same as those previously existing in land engines.
In locomotives and in paddle steamers it will be determined by the force turning the wheels, and by the smallness of the diameter of the wheels; for with small wheels the thrust will be greater than with large wheels.
Locomotives with small and long tubes, therefore, will require more coke to do the same work than locomotives in which larger and shorter tubes may be employed.

It took him thirty years to climb to that height, and the thirty years were marked by hundreds of improvements in locomotive construction and by wonderful records in turning out locomotives against time.
He is now the head of the American Locomotive Company, which manufactures three thousand locomotives a year, or ten for each working day, and is capitalized at fifty million dollars.
There was some surplus wheat in the Banat, some surplus coal in Czecho-Slovakia, some extra locomotives in Vienna.

The two locomotives were rendered unfit for immediate use, but not destroyed.
The difficulties have all been seriously aggravated by the necessity (consequent, certainly, upon the original delays) of working the line withlocomotives during the construction and completion of the Atmospheric apparatus.
The line has long steep gradients, and the locomotives used on it, of the class known as tank engines, are of great power.
A curvature of one mile radius was regarded as the maximum generally admissible on a line where high speeds were aimed at, and auxiliary locomotives were required to work heavy gradients.
For this reason Mr. Brunel considered that a wider gauge would present great advantages, as it would allow the locomotives to be constructed of greater power, and with their machinery arranged in a more advantageous manner.
