locomotive

A locomotive is a powerful vehicle designed to pull trains along tracks. It typically contains a large engine, which can be powered by diesel fuel or electricity. Locomotives are equipped with controls for the engineer to operate them and can be found at the front or rear of a train. Their main role is to generate the necessary traction to move cars filled with passengers or cargo. In essence, locomotives are the heart of train travel, responsible for transporting goods and people efficiently over long distances.
