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.
