Everything about Power Car totally explained
A
power car is a
railroad vehicle that's closely related to the
locomotive. What differentiates the two is their construction or their use. A true locomotive can be physically separated from its train and does nothing but provide propulsion (and electricity for passenger trains). A power car, on the other hand, is frequently an integral part of its train. Some of its interior space may be used for holding passengers or cargo. Power cars are limited to
passenger trains as their relative lack of versatility makes them unsuitable for hauling freight.
Nearly all
high speed trains use power cars, frequently at both ends. An example of these are the
Acela trainsets in use by
Amtrak. Built by Bombardier in Canada using technology licensed from France's Alstom, the twenty Acela trainsets operate between
Washington, D.C. and
Boston,
Massachusetts. Each trainset consists of six cars and two power cars.
