[click on the underlined titles in the table for more details]

Locomotive classes are grouped here on appearance. Note that the numbers each year are the number "not scrapped" rather than the number actually running.
This table may also be used to access photo.s and descriptions of steam locomotives - click on the underlined names. The photos are almost exclusively from the NE Rails site - visit that site for the original, high resolution photos.

For the details of which locomotive was running in which years, look at the No.s & Dates page (this is a large file of ~370kb).
