Articulated locomotive usually means a steam locomotive with one or more engine units which can move relative to the main frame. This is done to allow a longer locomotive to negotiate tighter curves.

SIgned "FOAMER" Jim

Foamer, generally a derogatory term used by professional railroad employees who see railfans along the side of the tracks adjusting the focus and shutter speed on their cameras while taking trackside photos,,,,,,all the while wishing they worked on the very subject they capture on film.
