Difference between Steam locomotive and Triplex (locomotive)

Steam locomotive vs. Triplex (locomotive)

A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine. A Triplex locomotive is a steam locomotive that divides the driving force on its wheels by using three pairs of cylinders rigidly mounted to a single locomotive frame.

Articulated locomotive

The term "articulated locomotive" usually means a steam locomotive with one or more engine units which can move independent of the main frame.
