Yes all diesel loco's have them in the cabs on Britains railways and all up until the Class 66's and Class 67's had big fire bottles for extinguishing engine room fires. The policy with the latter loco's though is that they might as well let it burn itself out because there's still going to be extensive damage to the loco even if the fire is extinguished, so why waste money on a system that has little or no value.
