In 1890s, the landscape of mainline express engines, the workhorses of high-speed passenger rail services, was characterized by significant advancements in steam locomotive technology. These locomotives were at the forefront of the transportation revolution, operating on the principle of converting water into steam to drive powerful pistons and propel the train forward. Common wheel arrangements, such as the 4-4-0 and 4-6-0 configurations, were prevalent, showcasing four leading wheels, four or six driving wheels, and zero or trailing wheels. This era witnessed notable improvements in speed, efficiency, and safety, as boiler designs and construction techniques evolved. Some locomotives incorporated articulation for enhanced flexibility on curves, contributing to improved performance on mainlines. Braking systems were also refined to ensure the safety and control of high-speed trains. Specific details about these express engines in 1894 would vary among railway companies, each with its own designs and specifications, reflecting the dynamic and competitive nature of the railroad industry during this transformative period.
