A person who operates a locomotive is called a locomotive engineer or train driver. They are responsible for controlling the train's speed, ensuring safe operation, and following signals and schedules. Locomotive engineers undergo specialized training and must possess a thorough understanding of railway operations, safety protocols, and equipment. Their role is crucial for the safe and efficient transportation of passengers and freight.
A locomotive operates using diesel-electric, which gets around 90 miles per gallon.
The person who operates a full-scale train (locomotive) is the engineer.Other crew positions are the conductor (who is also the operator on a trolley or streetcar), the brakeman (safety and mechanical crewman), and the fireman (on old-style steam locomotives) who may be simply a stoker.+++In the UK he was and is always simply the Driver, assisted by the Fireman who was never called the 'stoker', on a steam-locomotive. ("He": & she now as there are women drivers now.) "Stoker" was used in the Royal and Merchant Navies for a ship's boiler-room crew-member.
