Yes an electric train uses a locomotive.

no because he died in 1881 and electric locomotive were invented in 1951
no

same way as diesel locomotive, sort of

1879

Well, it depends on what type of locomotive, diesel steam or electric, a standard diesel locomotive weighs about 425000 lbs, and a standard steam locomotive is about 778000 lbs

from 1.8 millions to 2.5 millions

A locomotive operates using diesel-electric, which gets around 90 miles per gallon.

The modern hybrid diesel electric types.

A diesel electric power plant is an engine that powers electric motors. The motors actually operate the machinery such as a locomotive.

The three major types of trains are steam, electric, and diesel.

Steam: The locomotive is powered by steam pressure. Traditionally, it is created by heating water using a coal-powered boiler. The boiler usually made up most of the locomotive.

Electric: The locomotive is powered directly from an electric source to power it's electric engine. Either from an overhead wire or third rail that are both charged with high voltage power.

Diesel: The locomotive is powered using diesel fuel to power the locomotive engine or prime mover. A common use of this fuel is diesel-electric. This is where the prime mover powers a generator that stores electric power that is then sent to electric motors known as "traction motors" mounted on each train axle that turn the wheels.

Yes

The locomotive pull a string of cars that make up a train.

The locomotive was first powered by steam, but now they are mostly powered by diesel electric motors.

There are two major types of modern locomotives. Electric, and Diesel-Electric.

Electric locomotives are very popular in some countries, and likewise for diesel-electric. Electric locomotives take in electricity via an overhead wire or a third rail that carries this electricity which is then in turn used to power electrical motors on the axles of the locomotive to move the train.

Diesel-electric is identical, but electricity is not directly supplied. The locomotive is fueled with diesel which powers a large diesel engine that drives a generator that in turn drives electric motors on the axles of the locomotive. Think of it as a hybrid. An on-board generator that powers on-board electric motors.

Is this for your algebra homework? Because if so, the accepted answer is "VAIL"

Electric Multiple Units - these are electrically-powered trains that can operate without the need for a locomotive (i.e. they have their own onboard electric motors).

It's an electric locomotive with it's own diesel driven generator.

A locomotive (also called an engine) is a vehicle that provides the power to pull (or push) a train.

As well as the locomotive, the train consist of the vehicles which actually contain what is being transported. These can be either freight wagons, or passenger carriages.

Locomotives are classified depending on how they are powered. The first locomotives were steam powered (a 'steam engine'), modern locomotives are either powered by electricity or by a diesel engine (an 'electric locomotive' or a 'diesel locomotive').

A steam train is a train which is being powered by a steam engine.

Some passenger trains have diesel or electric motors under the carriages and do not need a separate locomotive.

The basic principle of the electric train is quite simple. An electric motor in the locomotive or above each car is charged with electricity propelling the train forward or backward.

The first electric locomotive was built by Robert Davidson in 1837. The first electric passenger train was developed by a man named Werner von Siemens in 1879.

The steam engine made possible for the invention of the steam locomotive and the steam ship. The gas and diesel engines made possible cars, trucks, diesel-electric locomotive engines, diesel-electric submarines, airplanes made flight possible, and the list could go on and on....

The electric motors that drive the locomotive can be re-wired as generators (by throwing a switch). The motion of the train can then be used to generate electricity - which is used to heat a large resistor to disparate the heat.

I saw a very small Witcomb locomotive refurbished for a narrow gauge selling for $550,000.00. I would say a full size locomotive would go for about anywhere from 1 to 3 million dollars.

A brand new GE ES44AC would go for 2-3 million bucks

1801, Richard Trevithick invented the first steam powered locomotive (designed for roads).

Yes, in a way. There was a battery-powered train that ran from Washington, DC to Baldensburg, MD in 1851. It was more like the little trains that one sees at parks than a modern locomotive. A electric train with a third rail and continouos power was built in Germany in 1881, the year the Garfield died. It, too, had a small engine and I do not know when in 1881 it was made.

i think it makes no difference because locomotives use electric motors on the drive train

Electric motors are geared to the wheels.

Electric power is gotten from some external source (via third rail or overhead wire).

{Except for a few battery powered locomotives.}

Modern diesel electric motors are actually hybrids engines. The electric motor is used whenever possible to conserve fuel, and the diesel engine provided power for hill climbs and acceleration,

Because it is strong enough, cheap enough and easy enough to shape into the kinds of parts needed.

A locomotive is powered by a diesel engine or electric motors that generate the necessary force to move the train. The engine converts fuel into mechanical energy, which drives the wheels to propel the train forward. The locomotive is also equipped with brakes to control its speed and stop the train when needed.

The locomotives in the runaway train themselves (the red units) are General Electric AC4400's. The Locomotives used by the protagonists (the blue units) are older Electro-Motive Division (GM) SD-40-2's.

Every locomotive, freight and Amtrak use Diesel engines that run electric generators that power motors aka "Trucks" that power the drive wheels. This eliminates the need for a transmission
