Steam Locomotive Information
The database which lies behind this site derives from a number of sources. It began from a locomotive list maintained by a man named Tim Bosshardt in the late 1980's and early 1990's and was added to based upon a list published by the Tourist Railroad Assocation. Additional input came from thousands of miles of travel by Dale Brown and Doug Bailey, and from other sources too numerous to record or remember. Ownership histories, where we have them at all, came mostly from a text file "ownership guide" submitted by Mark Halford.

Surviving Steam Photo Archive
The purpose of this site is to show current photographs of surviving steam locomotives around the
country. While any steam locomotive can be included here, as the URL suggests the emphasis is on
"park engines", those engines displayed outdoors in city parks, in widely varying states of repair.
I'd also like to focus on engines that exist outside of preservation, in storage or in some cases even in
scrapyards!

The Best and Largest of Steam
Often, discussions arise about which steam locomotive was the largest, or which steam locomotive was the most powerful. These questions are difficult to answer without some qualifications. For example, my response to the above question would be:
What do you mean? Longest? Heaviest? Most wheels? Most HP? In the United States only?
You see, this is a hard question to answer (as it is written). When comparing steam locomotives, you really need to be specific as to what you're looking for. For example, an easier question to answer would be: "What was the longest, non- articulated steam locomotive in the US?".
These tables should answer some of these questions by category.
