Actually, there are still some fireless engines still running today. On the island of Java in Indonesia some work at sugar mills. Actually, in Java there are a great deal of sugar mills that have steam powered narrow gauge railways today. There are also some running in Serbia. Germany has a couple of power plants that run them (some of these were actually built in the 80's). Until recently there were some in Cuba as well. Here are some links about these. One's in Japanese, but it's still got pretty pictures. I couldn't find the German ones, but I did see it on the internet somewhere. <br /> <br />http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/javatour/trains/fireless.htm <br /> <br />www.steam.demon.co.uk/trains/serbia1.htm <br /> <br />www.photoland-aris.com/tsuzuki/fireless/ <br /> <br />Considering that fireless engines don't use any fuel, it's surprising that they aren't something that's more commonly used today.
