There are still some fireless locomotives being used today. The one really big advantage of fireless locomotives is that they use no fuel and so are very cheap to run. Some were even built as late as the 1980's. Here's a link which shows some that are operating in Germany: http://mysite.freeserve.com/dingleyspages/travel_reports/germany2002/germany.htm <br />Also, in recent years there has been some fireless locomotives as well as other steamers working in Eastern Europe, which may still be in operation. See http://www.steam.demon.co.uk/trains/serbia1.htm <br />Before the collapse of sugar prices and steam in Cuba in 2002 there were some fireless locomotives workng there as well. <br />There's also still some steam engines working the sugar mills in Java, which includes fireless. http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/javatour/trains/fireless.htm
