Locomotive

A locomotive is a type of railroad vehicle, examples of which can be found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Overview
Railroads were used for transporting freight in the pre-War United States, used by locomotives of several different companies such as Barstow Express. By 2281, the New California Republic has refurbished rail lines and uses these to move cargo and people across its territories, including the Mojave Wasteland. Traffic has been halted due to the deathclaw infestation, but Chomps Lewis in Sloan will tell the Courier that what they dig from their quarry is shipped off by train to the New Vegas Strip and other parts of the Mojave Wasteland. If the infestation is eradicated, Ike, a bartender in Boulder City, will mention the trains will become operational once more.

Locations

 * A lone engine sits on the tracks at the Boulder City train station.
 * One is attached to several boxcars in the Gypsum train yard.
 * One can be found in the rail yard at Callville Bay.

Appearances
Locomotives appear only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
The locomotives are similar in appearance to the real world F-unit series of locomotives.
