A Small Locomotive on the Tracks
The compact switching locomotive has an engine hood at the front and a raised cab at the rear. An exhaust stack rises above the engine compartment, while three window sections provide views from the cab. Four rail wheels support the vehicle, and a simple low fence runs behind the track.
Work Done by Switching Locomotives
A switching locomotive moves railcars over short distances in rail yards, stations, or industrial areas. Its job may include assembling cars into a train or placing an individual car beside a loading area. A cab with windows facing several directions helps the operator watch the track during careful, low-speed movements.
