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

Locomotives develop power primarily through their engines, which can be diesel or electric. Diesel locomotives use a diesel engine to drive a generator that produces electricity, powering electric traction motors connected to the wheels. Electric locomotives draw power from overhead lines or an electrified rail, directly driving traction motors. The combination of engine design, traction system, and weight distribution enables locomotives to efficiently convert fuel or electrical energy into the traction needed to move heavy loads.

Locomotives get traction primarily through the use of large, heavy steel wheels that grip the tracks, combined with the application of torque produced by their powerful engines. The weight of the locomotive increases the downward force on the wheels, enhancing friction and preventing slippage. Additionally, many locomotives use specialized traction control systems and sand dispensers to improve grip on slippery tracks. The combination of weight, wheel design, and technology ensures effective traction for moving heavy loads.

Freight locomotives typically weigh between 100 to 200 tons (approximately 90,700 to 181,400 kilograms). The weight can vary depending on the design and the specific model, with some heavy-haul locomotives reaching even higher weights. This substantial weight is essential for providing the necessary traction to pull long and heavy freight trains over various terrains.
A typical diesel locomotive generates about 4000 horsepower. The loads are so heavy that many trains and can have up to four locomotives.
The British Rail Class 60 is a class of Co-Co heavy freight diesel-electric locomotives built by Brush Traction
Las Vegas Locomotives was created in 2009.
Adjectives that describe locomotives include large, heavy, and powerful. They could also be described as noisy, or by the present participle adjectives "trudging" or "barreling" depending on their motion.
The first locomotives to haul pasengers could go about 20 mph.
Sibiu Steam Locomotives Museum was created in 1994.
