   Most powerful steam locomotive ever static tested. PRR S1: Pennsylvania Railroad: 6100 Altoona Works: 1939 Steam 6-4-4-6: 487 tonnes (537 short tons) 76,403 pounds-force (340 kN) 7,200 horsepower (5,369 kW) Fast passenger steam locomotive; the magazine Popular Mechanics cites 1941 a speed of 133.4 mph (214.7 km/h) PRR S2: Pennsylvania Railroad ...

3. Turbosteamer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbosteamer

   It salvages the heat wasted in the exhaust and radiator (as much as 80% of heat energy) and uses a steam piston or turbine to relay that power to the crankshaft. The steam circuit produces 14 hp (10 kW) and 15 ft⋅lbf (20 N⋅m) of torque at peak (for a 1.8 straight-4 engine), yielding an estimated 15% gain in fuel efficiency .

5. LMS Turbomotive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Turbomotive

   This was originally steam-operated by a small piston and cylinder. Compared to some other experimental steam locomotives of the era, such as the LNER's W1, Turbomotive was relatively successful, showing a saving of coal compared to a normal reciprocating engine and no hammer blow on the track. Because steam turbines are highly inefficient when ...

6. Steam turbine locomotive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_locomotive

   A steam turbine locomotive was a steam locomotive which transmitted steam power to the wheels via a steam turbine. Numerous attempts at this type of locomotive were made, mostly without success. In the 1930s this type of locomotive was seen as a way to both revitalize steam power and challenge the diesel locomotives then being introduced.

7. Turbine–electric powertrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine–electric_powertrain

   An extension of the standard turboelectric propulsion scheme is COGES, or combined gas–electric and steam. In COGES a gas-turbine–electric primary transmission is used with a heat-recovery boiler in the exhaust flow to generate steam that drives a steam turbine that also generates electricity. Thus the system is thus even more efficient, as ...
