- Plymouth Gasoline Locomotives, Type 2, Model HL, 18-20 Ton, circa 1910 - Plymouth industrial locomotives were designed for places like mines, mills, factories, agricultural operations, and construction sites. All early Plymouth locomotives were distinguished by their use of gasoline-fueled, internal combustion engines and mechanical drivetrains -- similar to the engines and drivetrains used in automobiles. Plymouth later added conventional diesel-electric locomotives to its product lineup.

- 1927 Plymouth Gasoline-Mechanical Locomotive - Because they didn't use the coal and water required by steam engines, Plymouth gasoline locomotives were well suited to small industrial railroads. This engine shuttled coal cars at the Mistersky Power Plant in Detroit. Unlike modern diesel locomotives, which operate via electric motors powered by on-board generators, this locomotive's gas engine is mechanically connected to its wheels.
