I think that railway engines are basically generator prime

movers and
run at a constant RPM all the time. At least that is the

way a power
plant engine runs. It always runs at approximately rated

RPM
and the governor makes small adjustments up or down to

maintain the
proper frequency.



A train engine will increase RPM as the electric load goes
up.
