2. Boiler explosion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_explosion

   Boiler explosions are of a particular danger in (locomotive-type) fire tube boilers because the top of the firebox (crown sheet) must be covered with some amount of water at all times; or the heat of the fire can weaken the crown sheet or crown stays to the point of failure, even at normal working pressure.

4. Snifting valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snifting_valve

   In one configuration the valve is lifted onto its seat by steam pressure and falls away under gravity when steam is shut off. This allows air to be drawn freely through it. Alternatively, the valve rests on its seat under gravity and is lifted by inward air flow, which can give rise to a characteristic rattle when a locomotive is coasting.

5. Cutoff (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_(steam_engine)

   In a steam engine, cutoff is the point in the piston stroke at which the inlet valve is closed. On a steam locomotive, the cutoff is controlled by the reversing gear.. The point at which the inlet valve closes and stops the entry of steam into the cylinder from the boiler plays a crucial role in the control of a steam engine.

6. Vertical boiler - Wikipedia

   A vertical boiler is a type of fire-tube or water-tube boiler where the boiler barrel is oriented vertically instead of the more common horizontal orientation. Vertical boilers were used for a variety of steam -powered vehicles and other mobile machines, including early steam locomotives .

8. Blowback (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowback_(steam_engine)

   A blowback (also blow back or blow-back) is a failure of a steam locomotive, which can be catastrophic.. One type of blowback is caused when atmospheric air blows down the locomotive's chimney, causing the flow of hot gases through the boiler tubes to be reversed, with the fire itself being blown through the firehole onto the footplate, with potentially serious consequences for the crew.
