There are different types of diesel locomotives but we shall devote our attention to the diesel-electric locomotive for it is still one of the most widely used types of all present day diesel locomotives.

As we all know, the diesel locomotive takes its power from the diesel engine. But when did the diesel engine first appear? In 1882 great inventor Dr. Rudolf Diesel took his first patent for designing the internal combustion engine, namely: compression ignition engine, and his first successful engine started operation in 1895. Since that time the thoughts of railway engineers have been focused on that source of power and the possibility of its use in locomotives. And we are extremely proud that Russian inventors and engineers have made a great contribution to the development of the diesel locomotive.

Transport

Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one location to another. Modes of transport include air. rail. road, water, cable, pipeline, and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles, and operations.

Transport infrastructure consists of the fixed installations necessary for transport, and may be roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals and pipelines, and terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals, refueling depots (including fueling docks and fuel stations), and seaports. Terminals may be used both for interchange of passengers and cargo and for maintenance.

Vehicles traveling on these networks may include automobiles, bicycles, buses, trains, trucks, people, helicopters, and aircraft. Operations deal with the way the vehicles are operated, and the procedures set for this purpose including financing, legalities and policies. In the transport industry, operations and ownership of infrastructure can be either public or private, depending on the country and mode.

Passenger transport may be public, where operators provide scheduled services, or private. Freight transport has become focused on containerization, although bulk transport is used for large volumes of durable items. Transport plays an important part in economic grow th and globalization, but most types cause air pollution and use large amounts of land.
