Electric Locomotives
There are several classes of articulated electric locomotives of generally two types:
- Three sections, where the middle part sits on the two outer parts (similar to the Garratt design)
- Milwaukee Road class EP-2
- de:SBB Ce 6/8 II and de:SBB Ce 6/8 III
- de:DRB-Baureihe E 94
- Two sections which share a central or Jacobs bogie
- FS Class E656 operating in Italy
- New Zealand EW class, built by English Electric in 1952.
Two-unit locomotives, e.g. Bo-Bo+Bo-Bo locomotives are not considered to be articulated but are permanently coupled together.
Electric and diesel bogie locomotives have many construction aspects in common with Meyer type steam locomotives but are not seen as articulated.

In the days of long ago,
Ranged where the locomotives sing
And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
