Steam Heater Cars, known in Canada as Steam Generator Units or SGUs, were introduced in the diesel era to provide steam heat to passenger trains. When passenger trains were hauled by steam locomotives, there was always a reliable source of steam. Unless a diesel locomotive was equipped with a boiler and water tank, heat could not be provided. This was before the days of Head End Power for passenger cars.

True to original light and sound functions as well as illumination of the driver’s cabIn 1958 the Austrian Federal Railways procured a series of the 400 hp strong diesel locomotives of the series 2062, to replace the cost and labour-intensive steam locomotives which provided shunting services. The Jenbacher Werke in Tyrol built a total of 65 pieces of this small biaxial Diesel locomotive until 1966. With her eye-catching, cast-ironed front plates, which also served as ballast weights, the locomotive was used throughout Austria for shunting and maintenance services. On the Lower Austrian branch lines, these locomotives hauled passenger trains that had one or two wagons. The last locomotives were decommissioned in 2003. Some of the locomotives are still used today as factory and maintenance train locomotives and are designated series X262.

This was before the days of Head End Power for passenger cars. Heater cars were usually rebuilt from boxcars, B- units and old steam locomotive tenders, so they varied in shape and size from railroad to railroad.
