Do you capitalize locomotive in a sentence?

You generally don't capitalize "locomotive" in a sentence unless it's part of a proper noun. Here's why:

* Common Noun: "Locomotive" is a common noun, referring to a general type of engine that pulls trains. Common nouns are not capitalized unless they start a sentence.

* Proper Noun: If "locomotive" is part of a specific name, like "Big Boy Locomotive," then you would capitalize it.

Examples:

* Not capitalized: The locomotive pulled the train across the vast landscape.

* Capitalized: The Big Boy Locomotive is a famous steam engine.
