The front of a regular train is usually pulled by a locomotive. This is the powerhouse of the train. If your train doesn't have a locomotive, but looks like cars with a window for the train crew, then that can be called the cab car, or as you put it, "the head of a train". There isn't any slang (that I know of) used to call it something special. I uses "front of train", but "head" sounds better.

We do shorten "locomotive" to just "loco".

What is the car at the head of the train?

If it's a powered locomotive, then a locomotive. If it's a car with a cab to control the train, then a cab-car. If it's a train powered by itself, called a Multiple Unit (MU) with the engine part of the train, the front is called, well, the head end.

What is the name of the car at the head of a train?

There are generally 3 types of cars at the head of a atrain. The car at the head end of a train is most oftena locomotive, but it can also be a "cab car", which has a cabin for the train operator/motorman/engineer, but is not a locomotive. For many transit systems, this car may be a Multiple Unit (MU) or Electrified MU (EMU) car. In most cases, when a freight train is seen with a freight car at the head of the "train", under US law, this is most often not termed a train, but a "consist" - this is because it fails to have the markers necessary to move legally as a train.
