Definice a Význam "locomotive"

What is a "locomotive"?

A locomotive is a powerful vehicle that pulls or pushes trains along the tracks. It contains the engine or motor that provides the necessary force for the train to move. Locomotives are typically located at the front or rear of a train, although they can also be placed in the middle, depending on the design of the train. They are powered by diesel engines, electricity, or steam and are essential for both passenger and cargo trains. The primary role of a locomotive is to provide the force needed to move the entire train, carrying the cargo or passengers to their destination.
