Description
A view of two steam-powered generators, aka dynamos, that provide electrical power to UP 844, one of Union Pacific’s steam locomotives that is used for excursion service.
Once the steam locomotive has produced steam, it can be controlled to do several functions on this steam locomotive. And one of the functions is to generate direct-current (DC) voltage for cab lighting, headlight, etc.
The engineer opens a valve and steam is directed to the pump and exhausted to the atmosphere as seen coming out the exhaust piping. The force of the steam drives the impeller in the pump which rotates the armature in the generator which results in generating electricity.
