An inspection locomotive was a special type of steam locomotive designed to carry railroad officials on inspection tours of the railroad property.

They were replaced with converted passenger car inspection car s, or HiRail truck s, automobile s fitted with steel flanged wheels. Some were especially built for this service, while others were rebuilt from obsolete locomotives. Many were quite small the locomotive pictured is in fact one of the largest and most modern inspection locomotives ever constructed. They were generally well cared for and highly decorated. The Russian Railways still has two inspection locomotives A Chs2 549 & 552, which are converted electric locomotive s. Railway companies in the United Kingdom did not use inspection locomotives.
