Steam train & allocated locomotive

Q: How to understand the code of the steam train?

A: The code of old locomotives consists of

English letters and numbers.


First English letter: number of driving

wheels, second English letter: type of steam

locomotive.

Vehicle types marked by English letters:

C: The locomotive has three driving wheels


D: The locomotive has 4 driving wheels


E: Electric locomotive


R: Locomotive running on the trunk line


T: The locomotive should be equipped with

coal water truck at the back, which is suitable

for high-speed driving on long-distance trunk

lines, but it has poor view and thus not

favorable for two-way driving.


K: Locomotive with water tank. The

locomotive itself is equipped with water tank

and coal tank. This kind of car has a good

view at the front and back, which is

convenient for reverse driving. However, the

water capacity is limited, so it can't drive for

a long distance.
