Kind of a neat demonstration of the driving force behind a locomotive.

And for other types of engines look at the main url here.

All illustrations are animated and help some of us slower types better understand the physics involved.

I don't know what Jon will think but I sure learned a lot more about how different engines worked than I ever knew, and in only a few minutes. Those illustrations are terrific in explaining how they actually work. I agree with the author, the early airplane engines with the rotating cylinders are hard to believe.

Thanks Paul.
