The term 'leading locomotive' is commonly used in railway transportation, referring to the locomotive that undertakes the main traction task, essentially the head that pulls the entire train, responsible for providing the power to move the train forward. In the automotive field, the engine is like the leading heart of the vehicle. Without it, the car won't move. As someone who has driven for many years, I deeply understand that regular engine maintenance, such as frequent oil changes and spark plug checks, is essential to prevent minor issues from turning into major failures. This ensures smooth and safe driving, while also saving fuel and extending the engine's lifespan.

When it comes to the leading locomotive, it's the main engine in a train responsible for pulling the main body of the train. The transmission system in a car plays a similar role. I often talk with friends about how the engine's power output relies entirely on it for transmission. If there's a problem, the car will break down. Remember to listen to the engine sound briefly before driving—no strange noises mean it's good to go.

The leading locomotive serves as the primary traction force for railway mainlines, propelling the train forward. Similarly, the automobile engine performs the leading function, sustaining the vehicle's power output, making routine maintenance essential.
