Hose for conveying force to train brakes by a differential in air pressure. Contains either high-pressure compressed air or air at lower than atmospheric pressure (vacuum), depending on whether the locomotive has an air brake or vacuum brake system. [6]: 483–486 [3]: 1 Water compartment Tank for water to be used by the boiler to produce steam.
GT3 (Gas Turbine 3) was a prototype mainline gas turbine locomotive built in 1961 by English Electric at its Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows to investigate the use of its gas turbines in rail traction applications. It followed 18000 and 18100 as gas turbines 1 and 2. It was designed by English Electric engineer J. O. P. Hughes in a project ...
Klimov TV3-117 turboshaft engine. The accessory drive is the large casting on the top. The accessory drive is a gearbox that forms part of a gas turbine engine. [1] Although not part of the engine's core, it drives the accessories – such as generators, pumps for fuel and lubrication oil, air compressors, hydraulic pumps and engine starters – that are otherwise essential for the operation ...

Gas Turbine (×2) 4,000 hp (2.98 MW) In addition, Westinghouse produced and supplied electrical and traction equipment for Baldwin diesel locomotives from 1939 to 1955 and Lima-Hamilton diesels from 1949-1951 until production at Lima, Ohio ended with the merger into Baldwin.
Combined cycle gas and steam primary movers, with CNG in one tank and water in the other tank, and would be used as a slug behind a diesel electric conventional locomotive. A combined cycle powered locomotive is a patented idea to use two primary movers , a gas turbine with a steam turbine to gain the efficiency of a combined cycle power plant ...

The APT-E, for Advanced Passenger Train Experimental, was the prototype Advanced Passenger Train tilting train unit. It was powered by gas turbines, the only multiple unit so powered that was used by British Rail. The APT-E consisted of two driving power cars (PC1 and 2) and two trailer cars (TC1 and 2).
