The Locomotive

A locomotive is a powerful vehicle designed to pull trains along railway tracks. It typically runs on diesel fuel or electricity and converts that energy into motion through an internal engine or electric motors. The locomotive generates the pulling force needed to move multiple train cars, which can carry passengers, freight, or cargo. It acts as the engine of the train system, providing the necessary power and control to navigate various rail routes efficiently. In essence, it’s the motor that makes long-distance rail transportation possible.
