Meanings
-
(historical) A locomotive, usually for use on a railway, that is powered by steam.
Inevitably the present extent and variety of the Belgian railways will diminish, and within the space of the ten-year plan we can expect to see a modern system concentrated on the main traffic routes like its neighbour in the Netherlands, and with its last steam locomotives and wooden coaches honourably retired to the museum.
1960 February, J. N. Faulkner, “The Belgian Railways today”, in Trains Illustrated, page 86:The last steam locomotive to be built by British Railways, No. 92220, a class "9F" 2-10-0, was named Evening Star at Swindon Works on March 18. […] Mr. R. F. Hanks, Chairman of the Western Area Board, British Transport Commission, who presided, said that it was a moving occasion, but also a very proud day for Swindon.
