This list of locomotive builders (companies, government agencies and railways) is ordered by country and includes both modern-day and defunct builders. Since many entities changed their names over time, the most recognisable name is used – generally the one used for the longest time or during the entity's best-known period.
Note: Two factors affect this list's reliability: the preponderance of unreferenced entries and the inconsistency in frequency and coverage of updates. __NOTOC__ Africa South Africa Asia Azerbaijan, China, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, Turkey Europe Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom North America Canada, United States Oceania Australia, New Zealand South America Argentina, Brazil, Chile See also
