Small scale systems have long been used in such applications as propulsion of mine locomotives.

The first explosion-proof electric mine locomotive was designed and built by Whitcomb, in 1914.

Rechargeable energy storage systems, such as battery or ultracapacitor-powered mining locomotives.

Natural Resources Canada has launched a prototype mining locomotive, powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.

With partners, developed a hydrogen fuel cell mine locomotive, the world’s first industrial vehicle powered by hydrogen.

Air engines have been used since the 19th century to power mine locomotives, pumps, drills and trams, via centralized, city-level, distribution.

As an initial step, the Department participated in the development of a hydrogen fuel cell mine locomotive — the world's first industrial vehicle powered by hydrogen.

The distant thump came just as Pitt and Gunn were closing in on the two hijackers who were busily firing up the old mine locomotive.

This approach was widely adopted in various compressed air vehicles such as H. K. Porter, Inc.'s mining locomotives and trams.

Locomotive-building was always only one part of a diverse product inventory that included underground diesel-powered mining locomotives, hydraulic pit-props and related mining equipment.

There he developed the modern streamlined mine locomotive Ruhrthaler Vollsicht along with various other pieces of mining machinery and long-distance diesel locomotives.

In 1921 the company expanded its product line to mining locomotives, foundry equipment and custom metal fabrications, and became the Industrial Equipment Company.

The main difference between PKP ET21 and 3E locomotives was that coal mining locomotives were lacking in carriage heating systems.

Explosion-proof mining locomotives from Schalker Eisenhütte are used in all the mines owned by Ruhrkohle (today Deutsche Steinkohle).

In 1937 the company began production of electrically powered mining locomotives with equipment from AEG, BBC, and Siemens.

Schalker Eisenhütte Maschinenfabrik GmbH - German mnufacturer of mining locomotives and coking ovens.

Gasoline engines were definitely a novelty in those early days, nevertheless William Whitcomb, together with Eckert, decided the principle could be successfully applied to a small mine locomotive.

The design is based on the 0-4-0 mining locomotives that Plymouth was known for building with a straight 4 gasoline engine that has a 4 speed forward and reverse transmission.

Compressed air engines were used in trams and shunters, and eventually found a successful niche in mining locomotives, although in the end they were replaced by electric trains, underground.

A Hudswell Clark 68hp ex. mines locomotive was recently restored at Anniesland College of Further Education in Glasgow as part of a training scheme and will be brought into service soon.

Hunter Valley Mining Locomotives (Australia) included the South Maitland Railways 10 Class which were ordered by SMR and built by Beyer Peacock.

"The energy and mining locomotive is like a demon of social-environmental destruction that if the people do not stop it, in less than a decade it will convert Colombia into an unviable country," Marquez said.

They include a mine locomotive, a test of underground environments on fuel-cell stacks, an underground loader, and other key initiatives aimed at demonstrating the safe and economic use of fuel cell technology in underground mines.

NRCan has also been successful in helping the natural resource sector stay innovative through its work in reducing the viscosity of heavy oil and through its work in the development of a hydrogen fuel cell mine locomotive.

Almost 40 years into a storied career that began with a bang and continues to race along with a large-scale sculpture involving 1,200 Hot Wheel-type toy cars, Burden owns "way too many" vehicles, he says, such as a 1956 Ford fire truck, a diesel mining locomotive and a French Citroen Camionette.
