The Willamette locomotive was a geared locomotive of the Shay locomotive type, built by the Willamette Iron and Steel Works of Portland, Oregon . Key patents on the Shay locomotive had expired, and it was now possible for other manufacturers to produce Shay clones . The Willamette locomotive was very similar to a Shay, but had many differences, as the company that made them intended on making an improved Shay , even though the Pacific Coast Shay , later made by Lima, took up many of the features on the Willamette. The differences were All Willamettes were equipped with superheater s, while Shays usually were not The boiler parts were welding welded together, instead of being bolted together The Willamette locomotive used Walschaerts valve gear , while the Shay mainly used Stephenson valve gear The rear cylinder on the Willamette was facing the same direction as the rest of the cylinders, while the two front cylinders on a Shay faced forward, with the rear cylinder facing backwards The back cylinder on a Willamette was moved forward of the cab, while in a Shay, the back cylinder was almost protruding into the cab The valve chests were turned outward The truck springs were inclined towards the bolster In a test done between a Shay and a Willamette, the Shay pulled 27 empty cars, while the Willamette pulled 29 empty cars, as well as using 40 less fuel Image Willamette locomotive cylinders.jpg thumb right 200px cylinder detail All but one Willamette burned oil, despite their working for logging companies, where wood would be abundant.

Locomotive Software was a small British software house which did most of its development for Amstrad s home and small business computers of the 1980s. It wrote or contributed significantly to the ROMs of the Amstrad CPC 464 , Amstrad CPC 664 and Amstrad CPC 6128 home computers, the Amstrad PCW wordprocessor and the later Amstrad manufactured ZX Spectrum 2A, 2B and 3 machines, amongst others. Its Locomotive BASIC for the CPC range was fast and highly featured implementation of BASIC programming language BASIC for the time and later led to the development of Mallard BASIC for Amstrad s CP M machines. Locomotive was also responsible for the ports of the CP M operating system to Amstrad machines initially 2.2 for the CPC464 and CPC664 and later CP M 3.0 CP M for the CPC6128, PCW range and Spectrum 3. A later Locomotive BASIC was BASIC2 for Digital Research s Graphical Environment Manager GEM GUI , as supplied with the Amstrad PC 1512 and PC 1640 range of PC clones. The company also developed the LocoScript word processor for the PCW, which was a complete bootable environment in its own right with no separate underlying operating system . The company later produced a PC version of this software but it was not hugely successful partly because it was a DOS application, just as the PC market was moving to Microsoft Windows , but also because in the more competitive environment of PC wordprocessors the program compared poorly to incumbents such as WordPerfect . The same team later went on to develop the Turnpike software Turnpike Internet client for Windows, which was for many years distributed as their standard access software by pioneering dial up Internet access provider Demon Internet .

Locomotive wheelslip is an event that affects railway motive power when starting from stationary. The greatest effort is required from a locomotive when starting. At this time, if the engineer applies too much power to the wheels i.e., for a steam locomotive , he opens the Steam locomotive components Regulator regulator too far the turning force applied to the wheel will greatly exceed the opposing friction force effected by the surface of the Rail profile rail , and the wheel will turn without being able to move the train forward. If the engineer does not take quick corrective action i.e. by closing the regulator the locomotive can end up stationary with its wheels spinning this can damage both the locomotive drive mechanism, through running too fast, and the rail surface, which, in extreme cases, can be left with a dip where the spin took place. Such a dip is dangerous if not repaired subsequently. Some locomotive types were more prone to this phenomenon than others. Also, the effect is much more likely to occur with a heavier train or where the rail surface is compromised, for example, during wet or icy weather, or when there is oil or leaves on the track. Causes The causes of locomotive wheelslip are various, but the predominant factor lies in Power physics power to weight ratios. Ideally, locomotive designs will have roughly equal power to weight ratios that enable smooth acceleration from a cold start , or stopping position. However, if the power of a locomotive vastly exceeds its weight, then an imbalance ensues which causes the violent turning of the wheel s through loss of traction engineering traction . Other causes include the contact of oil with the flanges and rims of wheels, which reduces adhesion with the surface of the rails, and a general loss of traction on steep gradients when pulling heavy loads.

The Golw was a type of articulated locomotive articulated steam locomotive manufactured in France for use in its West African colonies. The front engine unit swivelled under the boiler and smokestack , in a similar manner to a Meyer locomotive Meyer and looking somewhat like a Mallet locomotive Mallet in contrast a Garratt had its front bogie in front of the boiler. The rear engine unit was placed underneath the tender, in a manner similar to a Garratt however a Garratt carried its coal and water directly on the rear bogie, while the Golw carried them on the central frame. The rear bogie cylinders were placed under the cab, at the front of the rear unit. A float controlled automatic device reduced the cut off of the rear cylinders to prevent slipping when the water tank was running low. The firebox hung low between the two engine units, and so could be of generous size. Four 2 6 6 2 locomotives were supplied to the metre gauge Ivory Coast railways in 1930, and three to the Congo Ocean Railway in the Republic of the Congo French Congo . The Congo Ocean railway received two more of the same type in 1935 and five of a modified 2 6 6 4 type. Both railways later turned to Garratt locomotives for their articulated locomotive needs.

Unreferenced date March 2009 Image Inspection locomotive.jpg thumb 300px Inspection locomotive of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad , a 4 4 2 locomotive 4 4 2 Atlantic type. An inspection locomotive was a special type of steam locomotive designed to carry railroad officials on inspection tours of the railroad property. They were fitted with passenger car like bodywork and seating. Many railroads in the nineteenth century owned one, but their use dwindled in the twentieth century. 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. Instead dedicated carriages known as Inspection Saloons were used. These were either rebuilt from obsolete coaching stock or, occasionally, were newly built. However many companies maintained dedicated locomotives to haul Inspection Saloons. These were usually elderly engines that had been famous top rank express locomotives when new but had since been surpassed. Examples of such engines include the Caledonian Railway Single , LNWR 2 2 2 3020 Cornwall LNWR No.3020 Cornwall and NER 66 Aerolite NER No. 66 Aerolite . The only known surviving U.S. example is the Reading Railroad s Black Diamond , a tiny 2 2 2 with fully enclosed bodywork, at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri St. Louis , Missouri .
