Steam Locomotive names that are just darling.

Sunbeam, Gem, Ruby, Wilberforce, I could go on. The thing is: People named these when they existed, which was in the 1800s. Someone saw a steam loco, and went: "You look like a Sunbeam."

That's so sweet.

The many classifications of locomotives also adds to this, because they're like a species, in a weird way.

Ingram and Irene, based on the narrow gauge engines 778 (Baldwin 10-12-D) and 303 (WDLR303)!

Based on these locos. I ship them, they are adorable.

I wasn't that big of a fan of American steam locomotives, but Skookum changed all of that.

Look at her. She is green.

And Clover Valley Lumber Company No. 4. Him too. He's just a really big tank engine, it's so funny.
