How does electrical locomotives works in a single wire supply for any wire connections two wires are required but in traction electical engines are touching only one wire. Pl explain me in details?

Electric trains typically receive their power either from a "third" rail using a contact shoe, which is mounted on insulated supports on the ground parallel to the steel rails the train wheels role on, or from above from wires that are stretched over open areas above the tracks. This system is called a "catenary" system. On top of the train is an accordianed contact shoe that rubs against the overhead wires. This sytem is only used outdoors. As you stated in your question, you need two conductors to make a circuit. The second "wire" in these train systems is the steel running rail. One or more of the steel rails is connected electrically to the source. It really is a two wire supply, but the second wire is hard to notice.

Is epoxy required in rebar connections?
Epoxy is not required in rebar connections as concrete and wire are used to hold it in place. Rebar is a reinforcement place inside masonry structures to provide increased strength.
Difference between lay out and schematic diagram in thermal power plant?
A schematic diagram will show the connections required for the process concerned, which might be an electrical process or a pipework system. Such a diagram enables you to understand the connections without bothering with the physical layout of the system. In contrast a layout diagram will show the physical routes of the wiring or pipework. This type of diagram is used by the fitters who are fixing the hardware of the system, whereas the schematic will be evolved by the designers originally, to prove that all the connections required have been included. The layout diagram will be deduced from the schematic.
