The engine is called fireless locomotive as it has no boiler. Instead of it there is a pressure vessel mounted on the underframe. The steam was collected in the pressure vessel from a static boiler. This engine was used for shunting in areas of inflammable material such as oil, jute etc.

The locomotive can be seen here with driving wheels and connecting rods.
