A propulsion car, usually a locomotive today.
The first trains used people power, horse power, and gravity. Sail power was even tried in the early 1800's in the US. Then steam locomotives, followed by diesel locomotives, followed by electric locomotives, - Today, electric is the most common for passenger trains with diesel the most common for freight trains. Today, some trains distribute their propulsion along multiple cars and don't need a locomotive (referred to as MU, for multiple unit).

What type of energy makes a train move?
Trains are typically powered by electrical energy. This energy is converted into mechanical energy to move the train along the tracks. Some trains may also be powered by diesel engines, which convert chemical energy into mechanical energy.
What makes flying trains and maglev trains good?
Very low coefficient of friction.
What is the mode of locomotion of starfish?
Trains.
What are drive trains?
The drive train of an automobile would consist of whatever makes the vehicle move such as engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential(s), axles and so on.
How do trains move forward?

How do trains move on the tracks?
They use freck'in wheels!
How do London people move?
By trains, buses & walking!
Why are diesel trains louder than electric trains?
Diesel trains are louder than electric trains because you the noise that the diesel engine makes, which is louder than the electric engine.
How do magnetic trains work and what makes them different from traditional trains?
Magnetic trains, also known as maglev trains, use powerful magnets to levitate and propel the train along the track. This technology eliminates the need for wheels and tracks, allowing the train to move smoothly and quietly at high speeds. Unlike traditional trains that rely on friction between wheels and tracks, maglev trains float above the track, reducing wear and tear, and enabling faster speeds and more efficient travel.
Why do trains go on tracks?
It makes them self guiding.
Do Paris rer trains have toilets?
Alas, no. What makes it worse is that very few stations have them either. EDIT: the RER trains have toilets. The metro trains don't.
