- Nóta What differentiates the locomotive and the power car is their construction or use. A locomotive can be physically separated from its train and does nothing but provide propulsion and control (and heat or electricity for passenger trains). On the other hand, a power car is frequently an integral part of its train, and some of its interior space may be used for carrying passengers or cargo.
