Generally the locomotive is the front of a train. If the train has a rear helper unit it will display a red light, either in the headlight position or more commonly it will be a flashing red light in an end of train (EOT) device usually hanging from the coupler. The lead engine will also usually display two lower ditch lights facing forward. Trains usually display a headlight and ditch lights even in the daytime.

What is the head of a train?

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".
