The electric locomotive as the name suggests is a locomotive that is powered by electricity. The external source of electricity which powers the train could be in the form of an overhead line, battery or third rail. The electricity generated could be using any source like wind energy (windmills), hydroelectric power or diesel. The electric locomotive uses alternating or direct current and stores it in huge batteries or ultracapacitators which is then used to power the train forward.
