Un véhicule ferroviaire motorisé utilisé pour tracter des voitures ou des wagons non motorisés, sans transporter lui-même des passagers ou des marchandises. Les locomotives peuvent être électriques, diesel, diesel-électriques ou (historiquement) à vapeur. Bien que les automotrices électriques dominent les services voyageurs, les locomotives restent indispensables pour le fret, les trains de nuit et les lignes non électrifiées.
