The Recent History of Steam Locomotive
Development
Despite their
apparent
demise over 40 years ago, steam locomotives continue to work
productively in remote locations around the world. Numerous serious
attempts have been made to bring steam locomotives back into general
railway use. A few individuals have continued to refine steam
locomotive design. This web page provides a brief background on steam
locomotive development, an overview of several interesting steam
locomotive design engineers, and information on the continuing efforts,
even today, to produce the Ultimate
Steam Locomotive.
