Difference between Shay locomotive and Tractive force

Shay locomotive vs. Tractive force

The Shay locomotive was the most widely used geared steam locomotive. As used in mechanical engineering, the term tractive force can either refer to the total traction a vehicle exerts on a surface, or the amount of the total traction that is parallel to the direction of motion.

Similarities between Shay locomotive and Tractive force

Shay locomotive and Tractive force have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bogie, Grade (slope), Track (rail transport), Tractive force.

Bogie

A bogie (in some senses called a truck in North American English) is a chassis or framework carrying wheelsets, attached to a vehicle, thus serving as a modular subassembly of wheels and axles.
