  • notes - text box for infobox footnotes if needed
Note that the following parameters have been deprecated, and articles will be added to Category:Unusual parameters of Infobox locomotive template. However, each page might need a null edit to be included in the category.
  • weight - The weight of the locomotive (may or may not have included a tender) – replaced by locoweight, tenderweight, and locotenderweight.
  • leadingsize - The size of the locomotive's leading wheels – replaced by leadingdiameter
  • driversize - The size of the locomotive's driving wheels – replaced by driverdiameter
  • trailingsize - The size of the locomotive's trailing wheels – replaced by trailingdiameter
  • railroad - The operating railroad(s)/railway(s)/industry(ies) who used the locomotive – replaced by operator
  • railroadclass - The class designation assigned by the operating railroad – replaced by operatorclass
  • roadnumber - The operating number(s) assigned by the railroad – replaced by fleetnumbers

The two infoboxes shown to the right are examples of using this template for a generic locomotive model (the EMD GP30 example) and for a specific locomotive (the John Bull example).
