An engineer (American and Canadian), engine driver, loco pilot, motorman, train driver (British and Commonwealth English), is a person who drives a train. The driver is in charge of, and responsible for driving the engine, as well as the mechanical operation of the train, train speed, and all train handling.

For many american railroads, the following career progression is typical: assistant conductor (brakeman), train conductor and finally engineer. In the US, drivers are required to be certified and re-certified every two to three years.^[1] In American English a hostler moves engines around train yards, but does not take them out on the normal tracks; the British English equivalent is a shunter.

In India, a driver starts as a diesel assistant or electrical assistant (in case of electric locomotives). They then get promoted on a scale: goods, passenger, Mail/Express and Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto.^[2]

In the United States and Canada, train drivers are historically known as 'locomotive engineers', or 'handlers'. In the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia they are known as 'train drivers', 'engine drivers', 'locomotive drivers', or 'locomotive operators'.

Notable railroad engineers[edit]

• Ben Chifley, former Prime Minister of Australia^[3]
• Christine Gonzalez, first woman engineer at a Class 1 railroad.^[4]
• Casey Jones, American engineer whose wreck on the Illinois Central Railroad on April 30, 1900 was immortalized in verse and music.

The United Kingdom based transport historian Christian Wolmar stated in October 2013 that train operators employed by the Rio Tinto Group to transport iron ore across the Australian outback were likely to be the highest-paid members of the occupation in the world at that time.^[5]
