Most diesel-electric locomotives use electrical transmission and each wheel is driven individually by a electrical motor, rather than drive shafts. So there is no differential unit on these locomotives.

Is their any differentail in trains?

There is no differential on trains as compared to the differential in a car or truck. When going through a turn the wheels go at different speeds because one is traveling further than the other. Without a differential one wheel would be dragged through the turn. The railroad replaces the differential with a tapered tread on the wheel. As the train goes through the curve the taper on the wheels allows for the different rotation speeds.
