Types of <strong>RST</strong><br />

A Locomotive is a traction vehicle (or combination of several vehicles) that is not<br />

intended to carry a payload <strong>and</strong> has the ability to uncouple in normal operation<br />

from a train <strong>and</strong> to operate independently.<br />

It is intended for freight or/<strong>and</strong> passenger transport.<br />

Traction in a self-propelling train can be provided by a powered vehicle with or<br />

without driving cab, which is not intended to be uncoupled during normal<br />

operation. Such a vehicle is called a Power Car in general or a Power Head<br />

when located at one end of the trainset <strong>and</strong> fitted with a driving cab.<br />

A Shunter (shunting locomotive) is a traction unit designed for use only on<br />

shunting yards, stations <strong>and</strong> depots; it is not in the scope of this <strong>TSI</strong>.<br />
