List of locomotive builders

Template:Short description Template:More citations needed This list of locomotive builders (companies, government agencies and railways) is ordered by country and includes both modern-day and defunct builders. Since many entities changed their names over time, the most recognisable name is used – generally the one used for the longest time or during the entity's best-known period.

Note: Two factors affect this list's reliability: the preponderance of unreferenced entries and the inconsistency in frequency and coverage of updates.

Australia

Australia's mainline railways, owned by the governments of the six British colonies, imported locomotives from the United Kingdom and United States. Domestic production, by companies and railways alike, began about 1890, though locomotives continued to be imported after that.

United Kingdom

Historically, major railways in the United Kingdom built the vast majority of their locomotives. Commercial locomotive builders were called upon when requirements exceeded the railway works' capacity, but these orders were generally to the railways' own designs. British commercial builders concentrated on industrial users, small railway systems, and to a large extent the export market. British-built locomotives were exported around the world, especially to the British Empire. With the almost total disappearance of British industrial railways, the shrinking of the export market and much reduced demand from Britain's railways, few British locomotive builders survive.

In addition to these, many railroads operating steam locomotives built locomotives in their shops. Notable examples include the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Mount Clare Shops, Norfolk & Western's Roanoke Shops, Pennsylvania Railroad's Altoona Works and the Southern Pacific's Sacramento Shops. An estimate of total steam locomotive production in the United States is about 175,000 engines, including nearly 70,000 by Baldwin.
