Belonging to railcar-puller
Locomotive's is the possessive form of locomotive, the self-propelled engine that pulls railroad cars along tracks.

It can also indicate something belonging to or associated with the locomotive in a broader sense: the locomotive's crew, the locomotive's scheduled maintenance.
