Ukusetyenziswa kwezitimela kuye kwaba lilitye lembombo lezothutho zala maxesha ukusukela ekuyilweni kwayo ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1800. I-locomotive yi-injini enamandla esetyenziselwa ukunceda ukutsala iimoto zikaloliwe ecaleni koololiwe. Aba matshini basebenza ngokuguqula amandla obushushu abe ngamandla omatshini, athi wona ashukumise amavili kaloliwe.
Ukuphuhliswa kwesitimela kwaba luncedo ekukhuleni kwenguqu kwezoshishino, njengoko kwavula amathuba amatsha ezithuthi naworhwebo. Oololiwe bokuqala basetyenziselwa ukuthutha imithwalo enzima ngomlinganiselo omkhulu, njengamalahle nentsimbi. Noko ke, njengoko obu bugcisa buphucuka, oololiwe bakwazi ukuthwala abantu, nto leyo eyenza kube lula ukuba abantu bahambe imigama emide.
Namhlanje, izitimela zisaqhubeka ukuba yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yeziseko zethu zothutho. Zisetyenziswa ngokubanzi ukuthutha iimpahla kunye nabantu kulo lonke ilizwe, kwaye ukusebenza kwabo kunye nokuthembeka kwabo kubenza babe yindlela ekhangayo kwezinye iindlela zokuhamba.
Olunye uncedo oluphambili lweelocomotives kukukwazi ukuthwala imithwalo eninzi kwimigama emide. Oku kuzenza zibe zezilungele ukuthutha iimpahla ezinjengamalahle, ioli, nokutya okuziinkozo, ezinokusuka komnye ummandla welizwe zisiwe komnye ngokukhawuleza nangempumelelo. Ukusetyenziswa koololiwe bokuthuthwa kwemithwalo enzima nako kukwabalulekile ekwakhiweni kweeprojekthi ezinkulu zeziseko ezingundoqo, ezifana nokwakhiwa kwamadama kunye neebhulorho.
Enye ingenelo yezitimela kukufaneleka kwazo kwendalo. Ngokungafaniyo nezinye iindlela zothutho, njengeenqwelo-moya neemoto, izitimela zikhupha ungcoliseko oluncinane kakhulu ngemayile nganye ehambayo. Zikwawonga kakhulu amafutha kuneemoto neelori, nto leyo ezenza ukuba zibe lukhetho olungabizi kakhulu kwezothutho lomgama omde.
Nangona zininzi iingenelo zazo, kukwakho nezinye izinto ekufuneka uzikhumbule xa usebenzisa iilocomotives. Ngenxa yokuba zinzima kwaye zinamandla, zifuna izixa ezibalulekileyo zepetroli ukuze zisebenze, ezinokubiza kwaye zibe negalelo kungcoliseko lomoya. Ukongeza, zinokuba ingxolo kwaye ziphazamise uluntu olukufutshane, kwaye zifuna iziseko ezingundoqo, ezifana nomzila kaloliwe kunye nezikhululo, ukuze zisebenze ngokufanelekileyo.
Ngaphandle kwale mingeni, ukusetyenziswa kwezitimela kuhlala kuyinxenye ebalulekileyo yeziseko zophuhliso lwethu lwezothutho. Ukuthembeka kwabo kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwenza ukuba kube yinto ekhangayo kwiintlobo ezininzi zempahla kunye nokuthuthwa kwabagibeli, kunye neenzuzo zabo zokusingqongileyo zenza ukuba zibe yimpahla ebalulekileyo ekulweni nokutshintsha kwemozulu. Njengoko siqhubeka sihlola iindlela ezintsha zokusebenzisa aba matshini baxabisekileyo, sinokujonga phambili kwikamva lothutho olukhuselekileyo, olusebenzayo noluzinzileyo lomntu wonke.
