I've always wondered: why is it a locomotive? Why not a penguin or something else? Just thinking aloud here: ls stands for 'list'.... so sl stands for 'tsil'..

I've always wondered: why is it a locomotive? Why not a penguin or something else?
Just thinking aloud here: ls stands for 'list'.... so sl stands for 'tsil'.... which is a model of a train? No, that's not it.
I think there's a missing part to this joke.
[edit] Just stepped away from my desk and took two steps and figured it out: sl = steam locomotive
