 A typical preserved traction engine: 1910 Allchin 7 nhp agricultural engine "Evedon Lad", at Stoke Goldington steam rally in 2005 |
A traction engine is a self-propelled steam engine used to move heavy loads on roads, plough ground or to provide power at a chosen location. The name derives from the Latin tractus, meaning 'drawn', since the prime function of any traction engine is to draw a load behind it. They are sometimes called road locomotives to distinguish them from railway locomotives – that is, steam engines that run on rails.
