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.
