A process of dieselisation occurred that eliminated steam locomotion in 1968, in favour of diesel and electric power.

He also convinced the mine manager to experiment with steam locomotion, and over the next several years Stephenson had built a further 16 engines at Killingworth.

In the early period of British Railways, steam locomotion had continued to be of prime importance.

However when steam locomotion ended in 1961, Broadstone was closed.

In the days of steam locomotion, about half the total load was water for the engine.

The most obvious theme relating to British Railways was the decline of steam locomotion and its replacement with diesels.

The demonstration was successful, however, and in the next year the railroad, committed to the use of steam locomotion, held trials for a working engine.

There he was involved in experiments with steam locomotion.

After the demise of steam locomotion, the railroad no longer stopped in Cisco.

Penydarren was also used by Richard Trevithick as the location for his experiments into steam locomotion.
