The evolution of locomotives to trains began in the early 19th century, with the introduction of steam-powered locomotives around the 1800s. The first successful steam locomotive, George Stephenson's "Locomotion No. 1," debuted in 1825, leading to the development of rail networks. By the 1830s and 1840s, these locomotives were pulling multiple carriages, effectively transforming them into trains. This marked the beginning of modern rail transportation, paving the way for the extensive railway systems we see today.
The British Trains have yellow sections on each end of every locomotive to signify that they are commuter trains.

A train is a line of coupled wagons or carriages drawn by a locomotive.
The word "locomotive" is a noun. It refers to a powered vehicle used to pull trains or other large loads.
Locomotive trains typically run off of either electricity or diesel fuel. A locomotive has a large compartmental container under it that holds roughly 2,200 gallons.
The first locomotive was built by Richard Trevithick and had a top speed of about 4 mph (miles per hour).
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).
A typical diesel locomotive generates about 4000 horsepower. The loads are so heavy that many trains and can have up to four locomotives.
Yes, there were steam trains in the 1870s. The first steam locomotive was developed by Scottish inventor William Murdoch in 1784. By the 1830s, steam trains were in use in much of the world.
Building of a Driving Van Trailer instead of another locomotive is just but a method to keep the budget low while building trains.
