Locomotives of the Caledonian Railway

The Caledonian Railway Locomotive Works were originally at Greenock but moved to St. Rollox, Glasgow, in 1856.

The locomotive classes are listed under the names of the railway's Chief Mechanical Engineers.

Hence earlier numbered classes could well have appeared later in time.

Until the appointment of Dugald Drummond, unlike most other British railways, almost all engines had outside cylinders, and the 0-6-0 arrangement was quite rare, goods engines being of type 2-4-0 or 0-4-2.

The LMS built some locomotives to Caledonian Railway designs after 1923.

An example of the 8ft 2" wheeled Caledonian 2-2-2. They were built from 1859 onwards and served as the main express engine until 1885. The final engine was withdrawn from service in 1901.
