The BR Standard steam locomotives were an effort to standardize
locomotives from the motley collection from older locos. Unfortunately
due to the controversial dieselisation of British Railways, they only
spent between 7 and 17 years working on the railways. Many were
preserved, mainly due to their simpilicity and common parts.

and its mean in the railway?

"Locos" is a contraction of the plural noun "locomotives".
I suspect the second "from" in the second line in your quote should
have been "of".
