London Underground steam locomotives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Initially, services on the Metropolitan Railway were operated by the GWR who built a special type of locomotives, the Metropolitan Class, to operate through the tunnels.

From 1864, the various London Underground railway companies bought steam locomotives of their own. Through running of various mainline company locomotives continued into the 1960s.
