Note that "prime mover" more generally means the engine or turbine that drives a generator, as in the Diesel-electric locomotive application but also more generally. It seems to me that this definition should be expanded to this broader category, rather than restricting this definition of "prime mover" to locomotives. Otherwise, yet another entry would be necessary to properly define "prime mover". Theophilus Reed (talk) 21:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
