A. L. Beattie
Alfred Luther Beattie (1852 – 2 May 1920),〔T. A. McGavin, ''Steam Locomotives of New Zealand'', vol. 1 (Wellington: New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society, 1987–91), pg. 53.〕 typically referred to as A. L. Beattie,〔In all the literature cited in the references, almost every mention of Beattie refers to him by his initials; only once is his full name given.〕 was a pioneering locomotive engineer. Born in Yorkshire, England,〔The Rock, September 2010 http://www.stpeterscaversham.org.nz/The%20Rock/1009.pdf〕 he gained fame as the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) between 1900 and 1913. During this time, Beattie designed the Q class, the first 4-6-2 steam locomotive class in the world, and he was also one of the earliest people to use other wheel arrangements.
== Early life ==
Born in 1852, his birth was registered in Hunslet as Alfred Luther Betty.〔http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?scan=1&r=18142110&d=bmd_1300745953〕 He arrived in New Zealand at Port Chalmers in 1876, when he joined NZR.〔 In February 1897, Beattie was given the position of Locomotive Engineer at Addington Workshops in Christchurch.〔McGavin, ''Steam Locomotives of New Zealand'', pg. 53.〕 Unlike in some countries, where "locomotive engineer" is the title of regular train drivers, the title in New Zealand then referred to a specific position that oversaw the design and construction of new steam locomotives and the maintenance and enhancement of existing locomotives.
