Steam locomotive

Steam locomotives are the first locomotives. The sight of a passing steam locomotive harkens back to the old days of railroading. Big Boy is a steam locomotive.

In basic terms, steam locomotives can be divided into the tender, which houses fuel and water, and the nucleus, where the action happens. In more technical terms, steam locomotives are made of 48 distinct parts, more complex than a bell, which sometimes counts as a 49th component.

History

How It's Made produced an entire okinesque episode devoted to steam locomotive reproduction. This fascinating process takes 2,763 years to complete.

Part 1

The vault in action.

A once mighty bank made a vault and filled it with coal to trick robbers. It then declared the vault useless and turned it into a thing on wheels for their entertainment. Created by the dreaded RBC.

Part 2

All steam locomotives come with FreeSmart action figures. This is due to the second ingredient's heritage as FreeSmart's Clubhouse of Awesomeness, as all but the metal exoskeleton was disintegrated alongside the Eiffel Tower by corrosive acid. Created by Marine Le Pen before she made a U-turn.

Part 3

Rootitoots are the engine's kettles. When they yawn, they wail like a baby piccolo. In the diagram, we see a pair of identical twins. Created by John Philip Sousa.

Part 4

At first glance, it seems humorous that the engine's humerus is on its outskirts. But it's actually the ribcage, holding everything in place. They can combine with other arteries to form shapes such as scalene triangles. Created by Jack Skellington.

Part 5

The brute is called the brute because it automatically gives human and animal trespassers red cards and sent off the pitch. The most infamous ejection occurred at the North Pole with a herd of reindeer. Created by the Snow Miser.

Part 6

Did you know that a steam locomotive's juices are brewed in this tiny piece of metal? With an impressive torque designed to trample even the most viscous non-Newtonian fluids, it never stops doing its morning routine. Created by Charli D'Amelio.

Part 7

The steam locomotive quickly adapted to the westward expansion of the railways by convergently evolving to resemble a train of camels. To this day, the hump remains a mystery, though a likely hypothesis is that, like a camel, it stores essential nutrients. Created by David Suzuki.

Part 8

The iconic lightning rod can ensure the train travels smoothly through a supercell. It was once thought that it and Benjamin Franklin's lightning rod are a pair of Müllerian mimics, but Benny in fact said "hello Dolly" and cloned that bitch.

Part 9

After some deep digging in a scrapyard, the rare fossilized centrifugal disc jockey machine thing was unearthed. During its previous life, it acted as a particle accelerator specifically designed for katamari. Due to its belief in reincarnation, it is now a useless bit on top of a steam locomotive. Created by MC Hammer.

Part 10

Baikal bubbles are famously sprayed on the ballast supporting the track as a way to remain nice and moist. The device to do just that was created by Ronald McDonald.

Part 11

The head is the head.

Part 12

The ear is the ear.

Part 13

The face is the face.

Part 14

High heels enable the train to turn from a simple rolling thing to a machine that catwalks down the track with style. Created by Gisele Bündchen.

History

A long time ago, steam locomotives were the only locomotives. Richard Trevithick's Pen-y-darren locomotive was the engine that started it all. Puffing Billy further expanded the steam saga, while Stephenson's Rocket perfected it.

Steam power reached its climax when Big Boy made his debut. It wouldn't be another 70-80 years until he landed on The Wiki Camp 2's campgrounds.
