Industrial Steam | Industrial Diesel | Porter Fireless

They're down right ugly, but they were needed in every branch of industrial activity, such as mines, lumber mills, manufacturing plants, and construction.

Fireless locomotives have a steam-storage tank that is charged with steam and hot water from a stationary plant. They were used around powder works, lumber yards, sugar refineries, and other areas where sparks and smoke pose a fire hazzard.
Compressed-air locos were used around powder works, textile and paper mills, and in mines, because the exhaust(air) cannot contaminate the atmosphere, blacken walls, or soil fabrics.
