To achieve these distances, the early railway builders constructed cheap, light lines and structures, limiting the power and speed of locomotives to the generally modest planned traffic requirements. From before the turn of the century, the challenge for the locomotive engineer was to find ways of obtaining a substantial increase in engine power and a resultant economy in train operation, but without incurring the enormous expense of reconstruction of the permanent way and its supporting structures. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Various","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45379936157981,"sku":"UB-17781","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2800\/8220\/files\/crimson-giants-the-articulated-steam-locomotives-of-queensland-rail-used-ub-17881-reference-520.jpg?v=1754930789","url":"https:\/\/trainworld.net.au\/products\/copy-of-visions-of-the-victorian-railways-a-photographic-tribute-from-1854-to-1980","provider":"Train World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
