The Atmospheric Train on the Croydon Railway -Line Drawings

In place of a locomotive the leading vehicle of an atmospheric train was the piston carriage which was attached to the piston in the atmospheric pipe between the lines. This was followed by the heating and soldering car which sealed the pipe. Behind this were the passenger carriages. From ('Locomotion in Victorian London' by G A Sekon)
