A steam generator is a type of boiler used
to produce steam for climate control and potable water heating
in railroad passenger cars. The output of a railroad steam generator is low pressure,
saturated
steam that is passed through a system of pipes and conduits throughout the length of the
train.
Steam generators were developed when
diesel locomotives started to replace steam locomotives on passenger trains.
In most cases, each passenger locomotive was fitted with a steam generator and a feedwater
supply tank.
The steam generator used some of the locomotive's diesel fuel supply for combustion.
When a steam generator-equipped locomotive was not available for a run, a so-called
"heating car"
fitted with one or two steam generators was inserted between the last locomotive
in the consist and the rest of the train.
Steam heated or cooled rail cars have been largely replaced or converted to fully electric systems
