A tag for a decommissioned locomotive which has become a tourist attraction and generally remains in one place.
- For a decommissioned railway car (freight or passenger), see historic=railway_car instead.
How to map
Place a node at the location of the locomotive or draw an area for the outline and use historic=locomotive. You can also name it with name=*. If the locomotive is a tourist attraction, then add tourism=attraction.
Some locomotives are located in a building, draw a area as a separate line with building=*. Set the locomotive separately as point or area in the building. Don't use building=* on trains, because a locomotive is not a house. Add to the locomotive the property location=indoor.
For a covered locomotive use covered=* or on a separate area building=roof.
Additional tags
- name=* - the name of the locomotive, if there is one.
- operator=* - indicates the operator or name of the company operating the locomotive (e.g. as a tourism attraction)
- addresses - the address of the locomotive
- description=* - description for more informations
- start_date=* - for the launch date of the locomotive
- wikipedia=* - museum locomotives may have a wikipedia page which can be tagged here
- wikidata=* - equivalent Wikidata item
- tourism=attraction - to mark it as a tourist attraction
- heritage=* - if registered by an official heritage organisation
- locomotive:type=* - can be used to specify the type of locomotive:
- locomotive:type=steam - (Steam locomotive on Wikipedia)
- locomotive:type=diesel - (Diesel locomotive on Wikipedia)
- locomotive:type=electric - (Electric locomotive on Wikipedia)
If the locomotive has some kind of amenity=* like a bar, restaurant or tourism=* like a hotel or a museum, it can be tagged as a separate node with own name and further information.
Remarks
Don't use building=* on trains, even if they remain in one place.
