Interesting facts about the evolution of locomotive technologies 🎉

[@turkfiles]

Thank you for your great history lesson. Learned quite a bit about the evolution of the motors and systems used to get us where we are today!

00:01 Evolution of Electric Locomotives
01:00 Electric locomotives were introduced in the late 19th century as an alternative to steam locomotives.
02:03 Electric locomotives were developed due to the increasing use of tunnels and the prohibition of steam power.
03:06 Three-phase Motors had higher power to weight ratio and were simpler to manufacture and maintain compared to DC motors.
04:05 3-phase 2 wire system used on Italian Railways
05:17 Electric locomotives provided more traction on steep lines.
06:19 AC traction system became the standard for new Mainline electrification systems by 1960
07:21 Electric locomotive technology has significantly improved speed and reliability.

It was great to see illustrations of the early locomotive ‘Galvani’.
