The small electric locomotives used on canals are typically called "canal boats" or "canal tugs." These specialized vessels are designed to assist in the movement of larger barges and cargo along waterways. They often have electric propulsion for efficiency and reduced environmental impact, making them suitable for navigating narrow and confined spaces in canal systems. Their primary function is to tow or push cargo vessels through the canal network.
