WHAT DOES LOCOMOTIVE DRIVER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

locomotive driver

Railroad engineer

A railroad engineer, locomotive engineer, train operator, train driver, engine driver or loco pilot is a person who operates a train on a railroad or railway. The locomotive / railroad engineer is in charge of and responsible for driving the locomotive as well as the mechanical operation of the train, train speed, and all train handling.
