Locating a Surviving Steam Locomotive

For those interested in finding a surviving steam locomotive, the Surviving Steam Locomotive Database offers an invaluable resource. This extensive online catalog is dedicated to documenting preserved steam locomotives across the United States and a number of other countries. Whether someone is conducting historical research, planning a visit, or simply exploring the legacy of American railroading, the database provides a user-friendly platform to begin the search.

The database can be explored through a variety of filters, allowing users to narrow results based on specific criteria. Locomotives can be sorted by state, wheel arrangement (such as 4-6-2, 2-8-0, etc.), locomotive class, original operating railroad, track gauge, or manufacturer's such as Baldwin, ALCO, or Lima. Each entry typically includes detailed information about the locomotive's current location, condition, builder's data, and historical context.

With its depth and accessibility, the Surviving Steam Locomotive Database serves as a central hub for steam locomotive preservation information and is an essential tool for historians, railfans, preservationists, and anyone with an interest in the enduring legacy of steam-powered rail travel.
