Features of a Heavy Electric Railway Locomotive
This side-profile view shows a powerful electric locomotive designed to haul passenger and freight cars. The structure features ventilation grilles along its flank and a large pantograph mechanism mounted on the roof surface.
How Roof Pantographs Draw Power from Overhead Wires
Electric locomotives do not carry fuel on board; instead, they draw high-voltage electrical current directly from overhead catenary wires. The spring-loaded pantograph maintains continuous contact with the wire even while traveling over uneven tracks at high speeds, feeding electricity directly to the traction motors below.

- Locomotive main body: deep crimson, bright yellow, or industrial blue
- Roof pantograph frame: matte black, steel gray, or red
